$5k to join, $199/mo for 12 mo/yr plan and 129/mo for 6 mo plan. I spoke with a rep regarding the Venice FL club.

I've known folks who bought resale mamberships and apparently they are as good as the original but cheaper.

Other facts I got from SW FL sales rep:  

1- you are a member of ALL SW Fl. clubs from Tamps - Sarasota-Venice-Englewood-Punta Gorda - Ft. Myers AND Naples. That means you can go to any of those clubs and boat as much as you want!!!

2 -I own 3 boats on a lake in OH. It can get costly to maintain a boat. The only thing  you pay for when you use their boat is the gas.

3- they replace their boats after 3 years - no old clunkers

4- they are covered with insurance (but if you take someone else out you might want to check on your own coverage)

5 - they have VHS radio's and tow insurance. You have a backup if your engine dies offshore !!! (not a trivial feature to have)

I'm interested in the 6 mo plan sicne I winter in FL and am in the Ohio area for the summer. I like you $99.00/mo rate better. They quoted me $129/mo for the half year plan.

BTW, the person I spoke with was Randy Underwood I believe.
