    We had our boat in a charter service for 5 years ... bad idea. Our boat was
    used and abused. Remember the saying ... drive it like a rent a car ... well,
    most people did just that.
     
    We were told that we would not get rich putting our boat in charter service,
    but we weren't told we would spend more money repairing it.
     
    There are some companies that do better at taking care of your boat, but I
    do not know who they are.
     
    My suggestion, if you want a boat, but can't afford one, don't buy one and
    put it in charter service, it won't pay. The damage people do will cost you
    more money than you will earn.
