Beamie,
You are right...their are logistic hurdles with this business model. It works great in florida but in the Northeast the season is too compressed. The real problem is that you can get January weather in April/May (almost) or you can have half of the season weekends be rainouts.

Thanks for your response!

-Mike

yes, almost

oh.. crap that post was from 04

New England- When I started it was definately a gamble and I had the same concerns every prospective member has. The boat club model has proven effective. With that said it is like any business and people do not just wander in off the street to join. We work VERY hard at customer service, sales, and marketing.

johnny duckett- You just missed the deadline!!! I ran the poll on the forum as part of my research before starting the first Freeom Boat Club in New England in 2005. Surprisingly we have more people interested in "cruising" in the club than fisherman! If it was upt to me I would have an entire fleet of Center Consoles and Walk Arounds.
