If you have priced a new boat, you have already found out that it is easy to spend $30,000 to $40,000 on a boat. Plus, add an additional $2,000 to $4,000 of equipment and installation for a basic electronics package.

Now add up the cost of payments, maintenance, insurance, storage, towing, the tow vehicle, etc. Running a relatively new boat will easily run $700 to $1,000 per month. And you haven't even bought bait or filled the tank with gas yet!

To reduce costs, another option is to buy a pre-owned boat that already has several years experience. With the older boat, the cost of buying goes down, but the maintenance, downtime and aggravation increase.

Now you are running an older boat, that is likely less fuel efficient and less comfortable. Not to mention, there is nothing more frustrating than a perfect day to boat when the the boat is in the shop. (ask me how I know all this ...)

For the first time in the Mobile area, there is a third option. Join a club that gives you the benefits of running your own boat, but with significantly lower cost. And even better, the club takes on the un-fun part of boat ownership - maintenance, cleaning, storage, getting the boat to the water and other hassles.

Now you can put your time and money where it belongs - on maximizing your free time and enjoying your play time.

By joining the club, you spend about a third of the cost of a new boat, and get none of the aggravation. Boat club costs are as low as $160 per month.

If you buy a new boat, 10 years from now you will have spent $70,000 to $100,000 or more on that boat - all this cost for something that is losing value at a rate of $2,000 to $3,000 per year.

In a boat club you'll spend a fraction of that money, and in 10 years you'll still be running the water on new boats with the latest equipment.

For many boaters, buying just doesn't make sense.
