I was approached at the Houston boat show by a company that has some type of fractional ownership for boats. They wanted me to include my 280DA in their lineup. Basically the way they work it is people pay a certain amount per month based on how much use they want out of the boat. They pay for all storage, maintenance, weekly cleaning, quarterly waxing etc.. They put money into a pool per hour it is run so that when the engines need replacing they pay for it through the pool. They pay up to $600 of my $1000 payment. They pay for insurance. They enforce any damage repairs. Sounds like a really good deal as we only use our boat about 1 time per month on average. It's an 04 with only 100 hrs on it.
My concern is I don't have enclosed cooling and that's salt water the boat will be on. They do replace the Zincs often though. Mine has bottom paint. They also put 200-300hrs per year on the boat.:wow:
That would take bout $1000/'month out of my payments which would be nice. What do you guys think? Anyone else done this with their boat.
