Hello everybody,
I have a question of how do you handle the issue of friends / guests chipping in for riding on your boat?
Do you ask them to chip in ahead of time?
If so, how does your does your conversation go for this topic?
If you have not previously discussed money, afterwards, if they ask how much they should chip in, what do you say? How much $$?
If they chip in, do you count how much they gave? Or as long as they give some (i.e. you see a couple of 20s and other bills), they're good?
I had some casual friends come out recently, and they didn't chip in. They are a bit younger, and I think just lack of age / experience contributed and I did invite them, so fair enough. But this is the first time this has happened. Over the years, people have always been forthcoming and generous. So , no problems.
I would not want to say something like "hey, would love to have you out on the boat, but please make sure to help out."
What do you think is a proper amount to expect / say if asked?
I have a 23' runabout that I trailer for 45 mins to the ramp to give you a baseline of what's involved.
