Becoming a member of a boat club is a great way to build a social circle around the sport and to get some hands-on experience before taking the ownership experience by the horns. Find out how to get your foot in the door of your local club, and if possible get a taste of boating before you ever put down a payment on the boat of your dreams. But be sure to be careful, as, after you connect with some of your new, enthusiastic boating friends, you very well may get hooked! By joining one of these clubs you can also get to know about such things as sharing the cost of boat ownership with time-share like clubs and learning which boat gadgets are indispensable.
