425 a month is basically My payment for 15 years and I pay during the winter also

the only advantage of the freedom boat club I see is you can take out whatever style you want on a given day center console dual console or different lengths .. no maintenance and you can uses boats from any Club in the USA and you just pay for gas unless they changed their pricing ?

the down side is you are restricted by weather and hour restrictions but if that's not a deal breaker honestly the price sounds worse than it is.

Too bad they don't have a try it to see if you like introduction price before you need to pony up the 5k

Sounds like Capitalism to me. I mean, nobody is taking YOUR boat to give to someone else

well, think of if as buying a boat timeshare. That is partially your boat. When you arent using it, some assclown is beating on it, and when he isn't, someone else is.

but I know that technically, it isnt YOUR boat.

agreed.

one of the marinas where they have boats, a seasonal
skip for a 24 foot center console would be 230 a month. I don’t think 425 a month. is unreasonable, if like you said you can live with the restrictions. if the boat is due back at 1pm and the fish start blitzing at 1259 pm, that would be torture.
