I remember I sold 20 boxes of those Walmart 100rnd Walmart AE 223/556 for $75/box around early 2013.
I'm always tempted to do this... Maybe the next time.

We like the water but wouldn't use a boat enough to justify it. So we bought stand up paddle boards and going out on those a few times a year typically feeds that fix.

Dad had a boat (23' I/O) we kept at a marina in Weymouth, MA. We used to run it in and out of Boston Harbor or down to Plymouth and back. It was great the first few years, but it cost about $2500 a season for the dock and insurance. The last year he owned it we used it 10 times between us. He said, "That's it. $250 for a trip into the Hah-bah and back is too much." He sold it the following spring.

I don't miss the boat. I do miss Dad, though.
I hear ya. I doubt i'll miss the slot car track in the coming years, but i'm sure i'll miss listening to my dad's excuse for losing because his lane doesn't have the same voltage mine does, or his tires weren't clean, etc...
See we use it a lot. Basically like my floating summer house. Every weekend. Out, somewhere, overnights, we take trips and go away for 7 days, beach communities and exploring. My kids love it, my dogs love it, friends, they all have boats too and on our quiet days we just tie up, play some music and BBQ
