“My wife and I used to own a boat but found that we spent more time repairing it than enjoying it with our family and friends! It was always repainting this or fixing that. As we got older, towing and launching the boat became a hassle to where we didn’t enjoy boating anymore . So we got rid of it. But thanks to Carefree Boat Club, we got the lifestyle we wanted back into our lives. Carefree makes boating fun again!! Period.” [links]

When you play by the book, you can't avoid state of Florida sales tax on the boat you sell. Straight from the authorities at the Florida Department of Revenue, "All boats sold, delivered, used or stored in Florida are subject to Florida's sales and use tax, plus any applicable discretionary sales surtax, unless exempt."
Just like paying taxes, your new (or used) boat in Florida must be titled or registered with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles within 30 days of purchase, or 90 days if imported from another state – failing to register within 30 days of ownership is considered a second-degree misdemeanor in the Orange State. This process gets you one step closer to getting your new boat on the water (which is a whole lot more fun than worrying about taxation laws and transfers of title). In Florida as elsewhere, registering your vehicle is done for record-keeping purposes; registration helps protect boat owners from theft and against irresponsible or illegal actions from other boaters.
Though the point-of-sale process is a little more streamlined on the buyer's end when boat transactions happen at a Florida dealership, plenty of laws still apply to the process behind the scenes (and, of course, boats purchased from a pro dealer will still need to be taxed, titled and registered). According to the Florida Department of Revenue, a boat dealer is "a person or business that sells boats, offers or imports boats for retail sale in Florida." This applies to yacht brokers, too, who are subject to the same sales and use tax laws as boat dealers. here
Boat dealers don't miss out on that sweet tax exemption train entirely, though. If a Floridian boat dealer or yacht seller purchases a boat exclusively for the purpose of resale, that vehicle is tax exempt. To qualify for this exemption, the buyer of the used boat must present a signed copy of Form DR-13, Annual Resale Certificate for Sales Tax, to the seller. Boats imported for the purpose of sale are covered by this use-tax exemption, too, but only for brokers and dealers – not individual buyers or sellers. These imported boats are, of course, still subject to state sales tax at the time of sale.
There is no such thing as a cheap RV. They all are expensive to own, drive and maintain. more

So, what you end up paying in the long run boils down to your choices, which will be based on what you can afford and how much you wish to pay.
Furthermore, you’ll have to purchase the equipment that is used to hook the vehicle up to your coach. There are several types available. They can cost anywhere from around six hundred dollars for a dolly up to thousands for an enclosed trailer. more
Groupon, from time to time, does offer daily deals for the Freedom Boat Club. For example, in the past, one club in Venice, Florida, offered a $149 trial membership. Check out these daily deal websites to see if you can save. [links]
Aside from the boats, clubs will hold a dock party at least once a month, offering a member the opportunity to meet other members of the club. [links]
Freedom Boat Club boats range from 16 to 24 feet, including flats, skiffs, deck boats, pontoons, bow rides, sailboats, and kayaks, with almost all boats younger than three years old. All options will vary from location to location. more
Promotions may be available, so it doesn’t hurt to ask before committing. Some members have also had luck haggling on the initiation fee.
Check out Craigslist and eBay. There are times when members will sell their membership at a discounted rate. Since you do have to commit, often as much as three years at a time, some members simply don’t want to make payments anymore and are willing to get rid of them at a discount.
The club will clean, maintain, store and do all of the prep work on its fleet so you don’t have to. here
