Please note any scuffs, scratches, or marks that you see on the hull.
Regardless of the boat's condition, I have e-mailed pictures of hull to the office before departure.
If you are not submitting pictures, please note why in the comments.
I have checked all items on the check-out list above. Upon returning from my charter I will complete the check-in list, leave the boat clean and in same condition as I received it. Any equipment that is missing or inoperable should be reported to office before departing.
