Help Your Honey Say 'I Do' To Boating

by Jennifer Dennard

To help families gear up for the summer boating season, the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) — through its Discover Boating public awareness campaign — has created the Spousal Conversion website at www.discoverboating.com/spousalconversionkit to help convert less-than-enthusiastic family members to the boating way of life.

The interactive website includes a “7 Days To Boat Ownership” guide, sample scripts to use when trying to persuade loved ones, tips from boating families, the “Get Started In Boating” video, a budget planner and daily boating-themed “fortunes” to put you in a can-do state of mind. Also, the website will soon offer users the ability to upload videos they’ve created to persuade their special someones.
