I know they are scarce up in the midwest, but I know freedom has boats in chicago you can take out.
But since we moved to Tampa, its boat city out here and we are feeling the itch. We were out on a friend's 34" SeaRay in the gulf a few weekends ago and it was a blast. We are thinking about not buying a money pit, but joining one of those boat clubs. They have several sites with tons of inventory of all shapes and sizes you can use 7 days a week. Only have to pay for gas. Here's how it works.
$3500 one time buy in, then $250ish a month for unlimited usage of any boat at any boat club location in the USA. Seems like a pretty sweet deal to use any type of boat no? They are available only from sun up to sun down though.
Or we can buy a decent boat for $15k and just own it and pay a marina to keep it at.
Opinions?
