Default How to own a V21 with out really trying

Technically I"m no longer a V21 owner. The last couple of years I have not been using the boat that much and I was really contemplating if it was worth the effort considering the lack of use. I was seriously considering selling the V21, but I just could bring myself to do it. When I suggested to my son that I might sell it, he instantly replied that he would buy it. I found the perfect solution. With my son as the new owner the boat will get used more. The repairs and maintenance are no longer my problem. I can still use the boat with my son or when he's not using it I can still go out myself. The boat will still be in my slip. It's the best way to own a boat that I can think of. Should have done this sooner.

when we still had the v-23, that's how me and my dad did things. He pretty much gave it to me with the stipulation that he would get to use it when he wanted to.
