What's the boat you regret selling?

Question

Confession thread. Mine: a 1979 Bertram 28 I sold in 2014 for 'something newer'. The newer boat had more cupholders and none of the soul. I still look at Bertram listings at 1am. What's yours?

Cape Dory 25. Sold it to move up and the new boat never once made me grin docking it like that little thing did. I am still sad.

A 31 Bertram, so I feel this thread in my bones. The 28 and 31 are why God invented the phrase 'they don't build them like that anymore'.

My dad's Mako 17. Sold it after he passed because it hurt to look at. Wrong call — now it hurts not to.

The one I regret is the one I HAVEN'T sold. She knows what she did.
