So - another week...another dumbass dealt with.
The latest - your classic Karin...wouldn’t come right out and say it...but kept hinting at a “refund”.....the weather isn’t going to be perfect, my kids aren’t feeling great - we may only be out a few hours...told her in advance - no penalty for 24 hour advance cancel...and LMK as I have someone who wants it if you don’t.
She declines the cancel - gets there and complains they are getting “shorted” an hour...because they opted to meet an hour late (her choice - not mine). Get the text 4 hours later - they are back...weather was too cold for them (it was 76 degrees with slight breeze) and getting cloudy. Said thanks - have a nice day. This morning I get a text complaining that the security deposit ran her debit card short. She acknowledged knowing up to a 1k hold may be placed - and we only run 500....So somehow that was a problem??
Glad to be done with her...learned my lesson. No refunds. If weather does suck - in general I give people who are nice a free day that’s open. But no way I wanted to see this one again.
Still don’t know if I will do it again next year. It’s a pain - but at least profitable. Paid around 21k for the boat last year...we should have it damn near paid off at end of year - all with rental income. Not a bad “investment” - in one way I think quit and enjoy the free boat...in anotherI kind of think milk it till it falls apart.
