If you lived near the water and your family loved to boat it might make sense. But 70 miles away means several hours travel time to use it, plus the time you are out in it. That is a lot of time away from your kids....and a lot of strain on your marriage.

You also are about to start the youth sports thing. Within several years, weekends will not be spent on your boat....at least during the day.

There will never be any shortage of Privateers or guys who can rebuild them. Your kids, however, WILL grow up and move on. Any action you take at this stage of your life should have them as the priority.
Well said, and true, always reminds me of that Harry Chapin song,
Cats in the cradle.
