E-Bay Sale

[Bygracealone]

Yeah, what gives Hammer? Are you really thinking about selling? Why? Here's a little bit of the preacher coming out in me.

I think most of us have thought about selling our current V20s with the thought that there are better deals to be had on other V20s. For some, that may very well be the case, but not for all. Each of our boats may have its problems, but at least we know what they are... It's sort of like marriage.

You get married and then at times you may think that you would be better off with another person. But the thing is, you know your wife and she knows you. Yeah, life is hard sometimes, but that's the way life is. It doesn't get any easier just because you find another good looking hull with less spider cracks ;) or a newer and faster engine ;D There are a lot of unknowns about those other ones and there's always a reason the previous person is selling or divorcing or a reason why the person is single.

When times get hard, you try to work through them and when you do, you grow that much stronger and you appreciate what you have all the more. Nothing can replace the memories that the two of you share throughout the years. There may be a time when she gives up the ghost, so to speak. And when that happens, then you're free to marry another ;) But the thing is, that new marriage will also come with unique problems all of its own that you'll have to work through...

Anyway, all that to say, don't be too quick to give up on what you've got. I'm trying to practice what I'm preaching right now. There have been a number of times that I thought about selling my V20 in order to buy another one. But I've decided I'm going to try and stick it out for the long haul and see what happens. That doesn't mean I won't come to a point when I will choose to sell. It just means I'll give it my all before getting to that point.
