No. Don’t sell it.

Keep It!

OP, it looks like in post #28 you've made up your mind as the general consensus said to keep. If you want to gamble and let the forum decide, you could put up a poll and let us all vote on it.

My vote would be to keep

hey peeps, been following this post closely. i am in the same boat. in my mid 70's, ticker issues (controllable a-fib) and to the point my lowe is a little much for me to handle on my on.. soo, i have decided, thanks to this post, i am going to sell it and buy be a stick steer i can manage and stay in the same seat start to finish..not really worried about a smaller boat on the big 4 as i can decide on the wind letting me fish any day of the week..retirement has some good points...

Your boat serves as an escape to get out & get away from the stuff that pulls you away from fishing. Selling your boat would be like losing an outlet to freedom and peace of mind. Like others stated; you could trade for a boat that better matches your needs if necessary. The idea of finding a younger buddy to go with to assist is also a good one.

I was forced to sell my boat 12 years ago after being T-boned by a drunk driver that left me out of work for 9 months with injuries that prevented me from fishing for 15 months. Not having a boat to escape to the lake with was making me crazy. I figured out a way to get back on the water by doing some of my physical rehab in a kayak. Plus, there was no way I could be on the water without having a fishing rod (or 4). I can't cast like I used to, but I can drift or troll cranks & jigs as long as I'm able. Silver lining is I cover water more thoroughly & catch more crappie than I ever used to.

I guarantee, as soon as you let your boat go, you'll be wishing you had the escape (even for a few hours at a time) that there isn't much of a substitute for. If you do decide to sell it, sell to someone you know with the condition that they take you out fishing sometime. I hope it works out for the best & good luck next time you go.
