F LO R I D A B O A T I N G By Randy Taylor Interested in
taking a boat out for the day or the weekend without going through
the hassle, not to mention financial burden, of owning a boat? Youve
come to the right place. Florida offers so many resources on the water
that a stack of books couldnt cover it all. However, it pays
to know the choices between chartering and renting as well as what
you should expect to pay. After all, you want to sound like you know
what youre talking about with the rentor or charter company.
Trust me, you do. |

Buying a new boat is like walking
into an S&M joint: youre just asking to get beaten up. Remember,
a new boat need only mean a new boat to you. Nonetheless, theres
nothing like the smell, and the warranty, of a brand new boat. So, when
youre walking down the docks at this years Miami International
Boat Show know your options. |
