Would you rent your ski out for a 3 day weekend?

[ger87410]

Got a old work acquaintance of my wife that wants to rent out old 1992 XP for the July 4th 3-day weekend.

If this was your situation, would you rent your ski out? If so, how much would you rent it for.

For an idea of the local rates, here's a marina at the lake they're going to. http://www.h2osportsadventure.com/jetskis.html#rates

Agreed.

I'm not going to do it. Too great a chance of him screwing something up royal and leaving me with the repair bill.

Besides, I premix.

I was just wondering what ya'lls thoughts are on what I should charge him...

I was speculating charging $500. :smile:

No way I'd want to deal with the insurance and liability nightmare that would occur if there was an accident.

But it's your stuff and I aint a lawyer.

 

[onesojourner]

not a chance unless I had seen them ride. I still wouldn't trust a noob on a sit down with my stuff.

 

[WAB]

not no, but HELL NO!!

 

[The Penguin]

not no, but HELL NO!!

what he said.

 

[Moondance]

Yeah, what they both said.

 

[The Penguin]

who would want to ride your ski anyways? oke:

 

[cosander]

With a deposit of more than the ski is worth I would. Once I got the ski back I would thoroughly inspect it before returning the cash.

i would,, i need a new ski.

Not mine. Kim's.

She (the ski) can almost go 40mph, last time I checked with a gps before I replaced the pump.

Doesn't handle chop worth a crap...

sorry - should have clarified - I was talking about Moonie's ski.

OK, Grifnasty, how much would you charge for a 3 day weekend rental?

I would look at them just like a stranger that wanted to rent it. Unless the rental value was for more than the price of the ski I would require a deposit for the difference all to be paid in advance. If you were going to rent it for 500 and it was a 1500$ ski I would tell him I would be glad to rent it for 500 but I will require 1500$ up front and will refund 1000$ when I check it out after the rental. Of course I would fudge the ski value on the high side to make it worthwhile to replace it if something were to happen.

That was 1 of my thoughts as well.

The down side is the legal ramifications if someone gets hurt. I don't think I'm ready for that. :smile:

 

[Flat Brapp]

Never.

 

[WFO Speedracer]

Most skis that I see come through here that are major fawked up are usually fawked up by family or friends of the family ,that being said Hell to tha na.

 

[Jr Freestyle]

i would ,its a sit down. Its hard to break a couch

I've seen how people treat other peoples skis. I don't think so. I have been asked a few times(family) then I start rattling off what it would cost if they broke it. Then they change their mind.
