good luck with that. as a prior boat and pwc owner, and avid boater, ill tell you now, that no one, will let you rent their boat. ask any boat owner what boat stands for, Break Out Another Thousand. things go wrong very easily on boats, and sometimes its out of your control. trust me. ive been there done that. and do you really want to be responsible for someone else's boat when the motor blows because its old/they didnt do proper maint. on it? then you get blamed? no. get someone 21, and rent one of the crappy ones on the lake. basically, if anything goes wrong with the boat, it falls on the company renting (for the most part) and there are signed contracts stating this. my buddy and i considered starting a chartering company where we take people out on one of his boats(baja speed boat, or tige wakeboard boat) , provide a driver, wakeboards, tube, skis, lunch and drinks, and gas, byob 21+ due to not having a liquor license or wanting the ticket for providing for a minor, all for just over the price of renting a crappy boat on the lake, which u must fill with gas, rent their crappy equipment, have a driver who is willing to stay sober (21 and up) ect, ect. but he is far too lazy to pursue it.

not trying to be a debby downer, just speaking the truth. you may find some idiot on craigslist that may rent their boat to you, but then comes the issue of something happening to the boat while its in your possession.

monthly paymens are the same as my tc, i put 10k down. the pics i have are pretty crappy, im supposed to be getting my wheels any day now. which reminds me, i need to call element. its been 1 month today. if you can find one for the price i got mine it. do it. i got a steal. actually, if u want to buy one, my buddy has one just like mine, same color, same miles, that he is thinking about selling. ill ask him how much he wants for it.
