Struggling to let go - old faithful - Fraser 595
Crew,
Almost need a shoulder to cry or at least some reassuring haha
Finally about to take the plunge and get rid of my first true love - the first boat I paid my own hard earns for - my Fraser 595
Bought new and after spending my first 20 odd years on the water in various different sized and quality boats owned by firstly my Dad and other family members this thing was delux (obviously not flash by today's standards).
Most of all it how wet it is and the fact that a flushing toilet is all but demanded by the misses and daughter that is paramount to my decision but gee it's hard to let go - I trust this old tub so much andi know it inside out (got me home when it blew up to 40plus anda 3m swell from the bank to mindarie about 10 years ago and trust in a boat like that I am afraid won't ever be realized again).
Anywayverymuch a post about nothing other than maybe food for thought or comment...

A sad day , but what are you
A sad day , but what are you getting to replace her?
If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.

You can still get the fraser
You can still get the fraser hulls through Commodore Marine. They build them brand new. Quite possible for you to get straight back into a new boat that your familiar with.
Fish for thrills....
