PAYS FOR ITSELF
There isn’t a better way to experience the boating lifestyle! The cost savings are tremendous, and you don’t have the hassle of boat ownership…just all of the joys!
THE FACTS
- Statistically, the average boat owner only uses their vessel 6-8 times per year after the first 6 months of ownership. And it’s even less after the second year.
- Less than 5% of the boats stored at a marina are actually launched on the average weekend and less than 25% even get used at all.
- Trailering your boat to a ramp will cause you to spend on average 3 hours in doing the normal maintenance before and after usage, such as cleaning, check batteries, fueling your vessel, last minute this & that needs, and towing! This will naturally leave you less time out on the water, doing what you love to do!
- Studies show less than 5% of friends that are taken out on the water will help clean the boat and refuel it. After all, you invited them!
- Maintenance is always a sore thumb in boat ownership. Extensive repairs that can be costly are always a risk that you take by owning your own boat.
