Boat Clubs

Does anyone have any experience with the American Boat Club at Akwa Marine, or similar operations? As a "reformed boater" thinking about getting back into it, I have very clear memories of the expenses and headaches of boat ownership. This seems like it might not be such a bad deal -- $1200 to join and $3900 a year to use a choice of several boats (I sold my 17' center console years ago when I realized I had spent most of the summer chasing down my mechanic, and it cost me something like $375 each time I set foot on the boat to go to the end of the harbor). Just wondering if anyone has any insight/recommendation. Thanks.
