But I am real interested to hear what you all think? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Without knowing more details about the program it's hard to make any real recommendations.

You say there is unlimited usage options, but how do 4 boats effectively serve more than 4 or 6 members? What is your budget for these boats? EG: I'd like to see a 40ft SeaRay, a 38ish foot Donzi, and a smaller (say 26') classic Chris Craft (a real Chris, not a knock-off) in the fleet, yet I doubt these are realistic options.

What is the profile of your typical user? Someone experience who visits the lake infrequently enough to justify owning their own boat? A newbie who wants an alternative to the common rental options? Someone who already owns a boat, but wants some occasional options?
