Seriously, it seems the majority of regulars on here are 50+. I'm kinda surprised by that.

If 56 is "old as dirt" I better sell my boat. ;-)
When I can't crawl on board without too much help, I'll have to get a go-fast that's easier to board.

Great post!

mid 30s so its hard to say. Depends what retirement brings me and what I want to do. As much as I love boating, with a semi open checkboat in retirement which I am planning on, I might find better things to do than take on the effort of owning a boat. With that said guess it depends on health and so forth and only you can gauge that. My guess maybe in my 60s.

Hoping to retire in 7 years, I'll be 56. The house will be sold to buy a 50ish trawler, last boat. The Fountain will be sold to buy fuel for a few years. Unless cruising at 7 not 70 is an issue! 2-5 years of that and it gets traded for a diesel pusher. After that it's all golf carts!
