Totally understand. Like a previous poster, this was precisely the reason we gave up our boat many years ago, and decided to focus just on camping/RVing. Boat got to where it was no longer fun, and not worth all the hassle. That was when it was time for it to go.
The day will probably come, when we may well be forced to make the same very tough decision with ours. I don't even want to think about that, though, we're having too much fun with it now, even though we only get out with it 4 or 5 times a year.
Anyway, Effy, have enjoyed your posts, and good luck with what whatever is next for you. :)
