My experience as a member of Freedom Boat Club.
I was kind of skeptical when I signed up and paid the start up fee last year but this is by far the best and easiest way to go boating.
Our home club is at Lake of the Ozarks and the owner Jim Koch is going out of his way to help us members enjoy boating.
Mary is great to contact when you need a boat. Some of my friends told me its going to be old beat up rental boats but that is absolutly not correct. Very nice newer clean tritoons or fiberglas boats.
I just call and ask if there is a boat availble and I am always late doing so but everytime I wanted to go boating with friends or just my lovely wife Freedom Boat Club helped us out.
This membership is in my opinion superior to any other way of going daytime boating.
Thanks Jim Koch for selling me the modern way of going boating.
Hopefully Brunswick and Mercury Marine who just purchased Freedom Boat Club is not going to screw up a perfect way of going boating.
