To me, a cruising boat is just a floating RV. Not that that's bad: my
Girlfriend and I are leaning towards this kind of boat more and more.
But why can't we rent them, they way you could rent a car or an RV? We
know where to get ski boats, by the way, but we wouldn't know where or
how to get a Cruiser for a weekend.

Piloting a boat and driving an RV are radically different. You already know
how to drive so it's conceivable that, with a little practice, handling an
RV is not too much of a stretch.

With a boat, there's many more variables. Water, weather, vessel systems
AND whatever lack of knowledge you have on how to pilot a boat.

There's plenty of outfits willing to charter you a boat, your biggest
concern should be what happens once it's in your hands...
