All the guy's I ever tournament fished with had boats also and we prefished one boat and fished tourney in other (usually). We took expenses of top and split any other monies we won.

I am not getting what you are asking... are you suggesting you are providing services like a guide?? There should be no difference in how you split with a nonboater vs. boater. When I fished a tourney we took my boat. split gas in truck, boat, and entry fee. The only extras i asked were for him to provide food and drinks since we were using my boat. Pot is 50/50 unless there is a Big fish rule and that is determined day of tourney.

split fuel/entry up front then if ya'll place split the winnings. If there is a big bass category decide before catching if ya'll will split it or not. I have always split all winnings including big bass, unless the guy in my boat was a competitor.

We always split 50/50 even if it's a single fish tournament.

If you are going to use the same boat for every tourney then I would divide the winnings in 3rds 1/3 for each member and 1/3 for the boat set aside for when it breaks. at the end of the year use the boat money for yearly maintenance and split the rest 50/50. Also split your expenses 50/50.

What I am trying to state is that it seems when I take a non boater fishing they dont understand the cost of running and owning a boat,they feel $20 is ok for gas money, but I agree that the boat is my expense and the expense of taking the boat out for a touney should be split 50/50.

Anytime that I fish in someone's boat, I pay for fuel. As far as I'm concerned, he paid his part when I climbed into his boat. When I went fishing with W in his boat, I offered to pay for the fuel, but, he wouldn't take any money. Guess he wanted me oweing him the rest of my life. This is not a tourney situation, but, it's just the way I feel it should be.

Before I bought my boat I felt bad for only paying 50% or whatever % was my share. I felt like the person buying the boat was getting screwed. After buying the boat I won't take more than the 50% from someone because I am happy to get that. If I were to expect more I wouldn't have as many people that would want to go so I would end up paying 100% of the gas if I had no one to go with me. Now I do think if yall are fishing tournaments and winning enough money to have excess after the fuel bill and entry fees are paid the boat owner should get some of the maintenance cost out of the winnings. Like 100 hrs service, water pump replacement. I really wouldnt want someone making money off of tournaments and I dont because of the maintenance cost and we used my boat.

The entertainment I provide should be adequate for my share of expenses.

I always like to use my equipment and insist 50/50 on everything, including door prizes...
We fished a LOBI 5 or 6 years ago and my partner won a fourwheeler as a door prize loaded up with racks, winch, and on a utility trailer, he bought me out of my half... Nice tournament Hydro |

Anytime i go fishing in someone else's boat i insist on giving gas money because i know what's it like to get screw with all the expenses when I bring ppl that don't understand how much it costs to go on a fishing trip...that being said when we go in my boat i never ask for gas money but the people who come and offer to help with gas money get another invite, the people who don't made two trips in one, their first and their last.....but i never except more than half of what it costs...always 50/50

Brad and I got sponsorship money for entries ect but also made a fund we each put 2k in it we first used sponsorship money when that ran out we took $ from our tourney fund . We also split all maintenance . At end of series we split the costs to have a regular maintenance done...( lower unit gear oil....ect) split winnings 50/50 which wasn't n issue bcuz we were always 1-2 places out of the money lol.

This is why I fish my circuits alone
And for my team tourneys, he puts my gas, and I pay entry, if the gas don't equal entry he pays for ice and food. we split all winnings (including side pot) |
