Default Land or boat

My neighbor to my south on my hunting land is selling his tract as he is getting old cant keep up with it anymore.'It would be a great piece to add to my existing land and a great usable investment. However, in order to buy it the laid down the law. Sell the boat to get more land or be content with what I have. I am at my land 4 days a week starting in sept -feb.

Would you sell your boat for more hunting land??

How much land, how much do you own, and how much do you fish? I probably wouldn't do it but I fish a lot

I own 150 acres right now. The tract I want to buy is an additional 70 acres that butts up to my south and has road and ms river frontage.
I fish a good amount but hunt 10 times more. I would buy another boat to control the itch just not a 50 k boat

Land is a good investment and the opportunity to get a section that connects to your existing property isn't going to come up again most likely. I would just think hard about is what you got good enough and how much the extra land would help. How much you like to fish compared to hunting. You could get the land and get a boat that's a little cheaper and use it until your able to get something else.

They can make more boats you can buy but not land. Land appreciates boats depreciates. Do the math. You can always sell the land later at a profit. Try that with a boat.

I would with out a doubt sell the boat and buy that land for 2 main reasons. 1, like sauté said, land appreciates, not boats. And more importantly, what if some a-hole ends up buying it and you constantly have trouble with him encroaching one your property. I think it's a no brainier here if you hunt 10x's more than you fish. Good luck with whatever route you take.

Sell the boat, buy the land. Trade huntin trips for fishin trips. Problem solved & you won't have to worry about boat insurance. Bet ya there are plenty that would take you up on the offer on this board alone.

Yep, good choice. As said earlier, they are not making any more land, but boats are always available.

You need to lay down the "law" real good and, she'll let you keep both! Buy her something real nice too!...It always helps to get your way!

All kidding aside, the land is a no brainer.
