Only 1 person. My brother who has been fishing with me since the 80's is the only person that I would allow to use my boat.
FISHING NOW NOT WORKING ANYMORE

Yes, if it were a true friend that I trusted. Preferably not a lake like Fork though. When my boat has been down for repairs, I have had several friends offer me their boat to take out. A couple have been to take it to Fork for a tournament knowing that I am familiar with the lake and the stumps.
Being a true friend, I have always thanked them for the offer but have never accepted it. I know the dangers of anytime that you take a boat to a place like Fork. I also understand that anything can go wrong with a boat at any time. I never wanted the responsibility of having to repair someone elses boat for something like a blown engine.

On my insurance policy, I am the only covered driver. I would simply tell my friend that I'm very sorry but my policy doesn't allow me to loan out my boat

I would to very few though.
Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.

[quote=steve hummert]Depends on who is asking.....very select few I would loan it too. I have loaned my boat to a friend of mine because he is a trusted friend and I know how he takes care of his equipment and know of his respect for others and their equipment.
Some people I know, I would never loan them the boat.

I wouldnt have a problem loaning a boat to a friend that I fished with many times and they owen a boat, but theres may be in the shop or down for some reason. They all take good care of there stuff, so they would respect mine. Wouldnt matter what lake.
