Should I lend my boat out ?

I have an amphibious narrow boat that a relatively new friend wants to borrow. I suspect he'll tour the Birmingham canals but am unsure if I should lend him the boat as he is also thinking of using it on the motorways. I suspect he's planning on taking his extended family.

Answers:
I only plan on taking it around parts of the M6, Sandwell & a cruise up through Handsworth Wood?
We are a family of 8 after losing Grandad & thought the holiday would help the Family recover!
I'm slightly accident prone but would endeavour to sail a good ship & not eat any popadoms whilst steering tricky roads in & around the Black Country!
Nope! You will live to regret it.
now we all know you have amphibious narrow boat.
I wouldnt, a man's narrow boat is his own private kingdom
realtively "new" friend.NO! Your already doubting it, why ask? Use your instinct..and head!
A narrow boat on the motorway isnt too bad until he starts going on the A roads. Id say yes if you trust him, just remember to fit some wheels or you will be looking at another hull!
Hell no, a boat that can go on Motorways, give it to meeeeeeeee!
Dont do it.
Let him know of some places where he can hire a narrow boat, like Hoseasons and Blakes.
No I wouldnt tell your friend maybe next year when you know him a bit better.
I do not hink you should are you insured well its your boast you decide but if i were you i wouldn't aynway why does ne want to take his boat on the motorway fopr bopats are for the river and the sea not roads ?
No good deed goes unpunished!
no
don't do it man some thing always go's wrong on boats and u don't want a"new" friend looking after it
no!
Why not dude, as long as you make it clear"you bump it, you buy it" otherwise no chance!
If you have to ask, I think you're already having second thoughts. I don't think that this fellow will have any trouble, but why take that chance and lose a friend. You could offer to take them all out yourself. Good luck!!
