I have been told by more than one former boat owner that the two best days of ownership are:My model railroading expenses are much better than the fellow across the street with his new fancy boat and trailer that sits in his garage more than in the water and both of us have wives that know what our hobbies cost. My wife still talks to me.
At least on a rainy day I can "Play With My Trains"!

The day you buy the boat.
The day you sell the boat.
Never having owned one I can't say for sure.
