i did cost analysis a couple of years ago, and cost of FBC is slightly less than cost of ownership.
but it seems like you loose a lot of flexibility. i would especially be nervous if you are a weekend fisherman, and on holidays. I think they only have 4 or 5 boats, and only 1 or 2 was fishable (rod holders, etc...)
but there are some cool aspects, like being able to use a boat anywhere they have a fleet. NC, FL, TX, wherever. That would be pretty cool. Cape, N.shore, S.shore, N.Bay, LI, etc...
It is certainly for some people, personally i chose ownership.
