Hmmmm.
Overall I think it's a good idea. I'd be interested in renting it for a week, but only as a bare boat.
Some of the options, like radar or auto-pilot have little or no value on this lake, so I think you'd need to consider what the actual value as it relates to the *usable* options.
Also, what would the minimum rental period be? It kind of seems like you'd need to make it 5-7 days as a standard rental just to make sure you're maximizing the opportunity.
The flip side is, like any small business you most likely have a fixed amount of capital to play with investing in the business. What is going to benefit your overall business model the most? It would *seem* to me that another boat for general membership availability would be best. Or maybe go with this concept, but make it a 33' cruiser that could be used by the members OR reserved for weekly rentals? Or available for extended weekly/weekend uses for a premium fee?
