RE: First post, and yet another "what boat" post

Short "new boater" story.
One of our long time marina mates sold his boat (30 ft) 1 month ago to a fellow who decided to live on a boat during summers in New England. First trip out for a quick ride he came back got flustered, and decided to sell the boat because he was too nervous. Kept thinking the boat would float away from the marina in the night, boat would sink, etc.
Bottom line he owned the boat for 3 weeks total. Sold it for a $10K loss to get away.
*So make sure you will be comfortable on a boat before you make a purchase.
