ABC,

Please don't think I am trying to bash the idea, or draw an unfair comparison. Depending on an individuals need and circumstances I do actually see the advantages. As I originally pointed out I see this mostly a kin to the joining of a country club for golf. If it suits your life style it indeed works out just great and has its advantages. However my point is that a person look at this needs to grasp the entire picture, and make sure that the picture fits. Certianly you are planning to have boats that a rental outfit may not have especially if you get into having a larger Cuddy or Cruiser in your fleet... and for someone that wants that size of a boat and only makes it to the lake a few times a year, and plans to take part in the club for many years this make sense. However if you are someone that comes up here several times a year and likes to take a jetski out for a couple of hours here and there through out the summer... the financial might not work out so favorable.

I personally think your plan has merit, its a sound idea... for some people I believe it may indeed be the correct way to go, especially if they intend to be a part of the club for many years to come... However it is something people need to think entirely through, as if it isn't fully utilized it can be a costly endeavor, that was needlessly taken.
