Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tin Man" data-source="post: 493356" data-attributes="member: 7021">Was considering a new boat but the price is just too much for me to justify.  I'm also considering a used boat.  I have a nice small tinny (see sig) and it can do all I need it to do on all the local lakes near me, where it will get used 99% of the time.  I may be experiencing the common two foot itis and feel I need more room, need a console, need storage, something safer for my son with Autism, etc.  The reason I went with a simple tiller model that I have was for the simplicity (easy to tow, launch, maintain, etc..... now my mind wanders to all these other ideas! How do you determine that you've reached your max spending on a boat before you feel that you've invested too much and you can not recoup what what you invested when it comes time to sell?  Perhaps you feel you should just sell and move to a boat that already has the things/set up you want to add to your current....or you feel you're trying to make/mod your boat into something that it isn't?Ex.  Up to this point, I have invested $2K in this boat (tires, new FF, trailer upgrades, motor service, Yamaha fuel tank and Yamaha hose, external fuel filter, etc).  Now I would like to add a nice TM at $1500!  This may put me in a situation where I can not recoup my investment if/when I sell.Thoughts?</blockquote>
