Hamrow,

If one wants to keep the boat running and wants it paid for, chartering it makes a LOT of sense, but there's some work involved.

I did that for awhile with a few planes I had and worked out great. I had a good pilot that was reasonable, great customers, and just keeping it busy 10 days a month, I made enough to keep three planes running. Similar to boats. There's a real high charge per hour that the customer will pay. Not hard to get a few thousand a day for a trawler. I've also got a few great captains in mind.

One does have to "roll out the red carpet" for their customer, but it works and can be a lot of fun.
