I'm a Yacht Broker. I've had old men tear up, women hit me crying "you sold my boat" (even though that's what they hired me to do). For true boaters it's sad day when they sell, even if they are getting a bigger, newer, "better boat". It's more of a part of them and their story. For those that don't get it, they never will.
My wife cried when we sold our first boat (we owned it for 9 years). We had already bought a new boat and were eager to not own 2 boats. It was not a surprise.
She said all her boating memories and 'boating firsts' were on that boat.
