Convincing my family to buy a boat was a piece of cake, but if yours might not be so easy, our web site has some cool tips, scripts, 7 days to boat ownership guide and even funny fortunes you can send to your family to seal the deal.
Take a look at these cool videos of how other boaters made a decision to buy a boat and what tactics they used to convince their loved ones. 
And here is a sample script you can use to send to your loved one as a card or even a home video:
“Hi Honey. You know how you’re always trying to get me to open up more and talk about my feelings. Okay. Why not? Let's talk about us. Us getting a boat. A boat would be great fun for our relationship. Get it. Relation-SHIP. After all, a ship is a boat. And boating will give us lots of ways to spend time together. We can enjoy the great outdoors together. You can tan on the deck. I can fish. Or I can tan on the deck and you can fish. Think about it. If we get a boat, we can get away just about EVERY weekend in the summer. Most importantly we can AFFORD to. Really. We can finance a boat for about $200 a month. Just one DAY at an amusement park with the kids costs more than an entire MONTH of boating! Boating's relaxing, too. Here, try this. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Imagine the warm sun on your face, a cool breeze in your hair, the sound of waves lapping on the hull and the gentle rocking of the boat in those waves. Isn’t that relaxing? See—Life is better with a boat!”
