You are not alone. Our neighbors came from California with their aged speedboat they called Yellow Bird. For years John wanted to upgrade to a Boston Whaler, the type he grew up with. Their young sons both resisted the change because of their fantastic memories - Yellow Bird was part of the family! John finally got his dream boat and Yellow Bird sat next to their shed for a year while they made new memories on Plane to Sea. (John is a pilot.) Finally they decided it was time to donate it to charity for another family enjoy.
Killevippen, thanks for sharing your memories and sadness over moving on to a new boat. Rattlesnake Guy is right - you should post more often!
