    I'm keeping my 1775 Lund Renegade but adding a smaller boat to see how I like it. Putting a 25 Yamaha and a 45lb Terrova with a 5" Helix on a G3 15ft mod v aluminum with a casting deck.

    Who knows, if it will fish ok on a larger lake, I'll go with it only.

    Time kids and work had me sell mine quite a few years ago and I got back to basics. I fished ponds and creeks when I could. I got into Kayaks and really enjoyed that too. Of coarse the bug bit me and I bought another boat and forgot how much I missed it.

    I have only seen 2, in all my years down here.

    Well with floats and all my tackle, and trolling motor I would never be able to get it airborne.

    I've never owned a bass boat, but I'd find something to do. Napping sounds nice.
    Hang on. I'll help you in 77 minutes.

    As much as I love Bass boats and Bass fishing, the older I get, the stronger my love has grown for streams and rivers and fly fishing/fly tying. Very peaceful!

    If I sold my bass boat, the last thing I'd do is fish more. I'd probably take 4-5 strokes off my handicap, and upgrade my pontoon boat for the lake house. I have zero desire to go to Canada, and any traveling I did would be for sports games.

    11. Pick up a tiller steer flat bottom, and go fishing as long as my body will allow

    already done everything else on the original 1-10 list, except cali. Been to Tx a few times though

    I'm less than a hour from one of the most well-known trout fisheries in the nation and I have to keep 2 boats, the bass boat for everything else and the war eagle for trout streams.

    I sold my boat in '22. I didn't think that I could live without one. Life changes, and I was caught up in the middle of it. I've never been without a boat since 1990. It's a different feeling for sure, but I will say I have a target date for another.

    Since I have more than one boat I would keep fishing like I normally do.

    9. Do more saltwater fishing with charter captain I'll just buy a bay boat instead... to have in addition to my bass boat
    10.Buy a cool sports car as you no longer need a truck that gets 16 miles a gallon no thanks, might end up in a sedan for a daily driver soon though... to have in addition to my truck

    What else am I missing?
    If having a bass boat doesn't align with what you want in life, sell your bass boat. I spend too much time alone in mine to be willing to give it up.

    Sold mine years ago and have regretted it ever since. Life keeps getting in the way of buying another, some things that have been aggravating and some I wouldn't change for the world, but man do I miss it. For the last couple of years, I wouldn't have the time to use it like I'd want to anyways, so keeping that in mind makes it a little better. Just going to keep beating the banks when I can and get invited along with others on occasion for now, but I'll eventually get another.

    Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Just smile and walk away.
