I read something on the internet that got me thinking, so I thought I would pick everyone's brain. Someone made a statement that once you move into a boat that is 40 plus feet, it turns into a full time hobby with little time for other pursuits.
My family has a 34 foot Tollycraft that we have only had for a year, but I do find it takes a lot of time to keep up properly. (Might be different if I could just write cheques for everything, but that is another discussion)
I have many other interests that are already suffering as it is. I love riding my motorcycle, and travelling in our camper van, but find that I am having less time to pursue these hobbies since the we bought the Tolly.
I guess the question is whether my thought of eventually buying a bigger boat would be the kiss of death to ever getting to tour on my bike or travel with my camper? Is a larger boat going to take that much more time or the amount of time I spend on my current boat comparable to what a 42/43 foot would take. (Or a 47/49 foot Pilothouse, but that is really dreaming now)
