Opinions on getting a boat

[Andy M]

As fate would have it, I'll be spending most of my time in Annapolis for the next 18 - 24 months. Our primary residence will remain in upstate NY.

I'm going to have a lot of free time and I want to have a fishing boat docked near Annapolis. I'm looking at something like a Carolina Skiff 20 ft range. I would like to lease for a year if that was as option. I could buy and then sell but that's a hassle.

Has anyone rented their boat for side income?

Thanks for the input. I'm a lifelong fisherman who is new to the CB.
