Boating and chipping in for gas
I’ll start by saying I’m not a boat owner so I always offer to pay for gas and if it’s refused, there will be cash left in the owners truck or jacket. Lunch or dinner, I don’t take no for an answer. Instead I take the lead on it so there is no quarrel.
Absolutely helping cleaning or putting away the boat is a must. Heck, I was invited out by a vendor and did it just for the fun.
With that said, I wouldn’t demand cash of him upfront only because if **** goes sideways, it could be argued that you were operating as a charter.
Instead, I’d just stop inviting the guy.
