yes, but only to very trustworthy friends and relatives. They dont always clean it but they always bring it back with more gas than it had.

Yes, but only to close friends or very experienced boaters.

No. Driving my boat is a long learning process. Don't really want to chance someone else trying to drive it.

There are only two people in the world I would trust with my boat. I feel like most fisherman would more readily loan their wife/girlfriend out. haha

Don't mix family friends w/ business! It will be business when something goes wrong!
That said, I have one brother I would loan it too and knowing that if something went wrong it would be my problem to deal with since I let him use it.

We have offered our boat (2008 Skeeter 20i) to C.A.S.T. couples on many occasions when they have had their boat in the shop or something on their boat malfunctioned.
We took our boat (2010 Skeeter ZX225) to the TOP SIX Invitational Tournament on Lake Palestine so one of the couples from the South Region could fish with their team.
People seem to be so much more careful with somebody else's equipment then they are even with their own. Our C.A.S.T. couples are just like family to us, we do our best to help them just as they would for us.
Until Later... God Bless and Good Fishin'!

Seen some horror stories with guys loaning boats, if there is an issue it rarely ends well.
