List the boat you owned for the least amount of time and why you sold

Only had it for 2 years. Sold as kids lost interest and too expensive to go solo fishing in

Stessco Catcher 420 Yammie 30hp.
Five trips out in it over a three week period. Too small, not enough grunt to survive the tidal currents not really a good boat for up here. Replaced it with a Quinnie Coastrunner 500 with a 115 Optimax on the back. This boat well and truly ticks all the boxes.

Chivers Thunderbird
5.7 Chivers Thunderbird, had it for about 18 months, the previous owner had cut off the cabin and turned it into a runabout, found it to be a bit small for what I had in mind so off it went and a 6.1 Guardian came home.

Little 4.9ish Barron centre
Little 4.9ish Barron centre console in the very early 2000's.
It was very light with a big flare and only had tote tanks. I lived in Dunsborough and used to fish the reefs in Geo Bay. If I got the bow too high coming home in to a SW, she would stand up in the air. Sold it for self preservation.
