Why am I selling my boat?

Why does anyone sell a perfectly good boat? If I had the money (and the storage space, and a different wife) I'd keep all the boats and bicycles (and race cars) that I have ever owned.  But reality gives us finite resources and very finite places to put things, so we sell things.  The fact is, this is a great boat, but it's not a great boat for me.

Unfortunately, she doesn't fit the water around here real well as we either have small inland lakes (where I live they are just a few hundred acres) or the Great Lakes (about an hour away, but maybe a bit too much for my sailing skill).   I've sailed her many times on Lake Norman in North Carolina (17,000 acres) and she's happily at home there, and most likely would be on other reservoirs in the south. She would also probably do well on Lake St. Clair, Tampa Bay or other protected waters.

As for me, I need to get either a bigger boat that would be better for weekends with the kids or a smaller boat that is more appropriate to our smaller local lakes. Either way, I need to sell this one to get another one!
