What kind of boat do you have, what's it size and age?
|
I have a 1999 22ft Cobalt. It has a ton of hours so I'm not too concerned about additional wear and tear because I'm planning to recondition it this winter anyhow. Here's my boat-

We have certain weeks that I can't get up to NH at all, and our boat doesn't get nearly enough use. We rented a slip last year, this year we are trailering. Do you have to have your boat in the water to participate?
|
No, they provide insurance for trailering too. A renter could pickup the boat on the trailer.

Can you see an attorney questioning you on the stand after an accident occurs involving your boat: "So you assumed that just because this person showed you a NH Safe Boating Certificate that they had the experience and knowledge to operate a boat safely?"
|
This is a really good point. I've been screening the renters, but will probably put together some sort of affidavit to document experience renters have claimed.

Can you be sure that the person who would rent your boat will not abuse it? Can you be sure that the person will dock and tie the way you would to eliminate the possibility of damage to your boat? Can you be certain that the operator of the boat will not consume a lot of alcohol? When your boat comes back, do you have a way to check the hull, drive, and propeller to be certain no damage was done?

This is absolutely a concern. I'm planning to put the boat on the trailer between each rental to check the drive, hull, and prop.
