We would like to inform all of our members that due to recent spamming activity within the site, we were forced to make certain changes to the site access privileges for Standard Members. In order to prevent further email hacking or spamming, we have restricted the use of Instant Message and Private Email to Supporting Members only. We regret this decision but feel it's necessary to protect all of our members from potential viruses, Trojans, spam, etc. We of course, invite all Standard members to upgrade your Membership status now and receive your free Raft-up Burgee and access to all the Participating Group benefits offered by BoatUS to Raft-up.com Supporting Members. We thank you in advance for your support and understanding of these changes.

Your Raft-up Administrators have worked out a special deal with BoatU.S. that will add to the Supporting Members' benefits you already receive – introducing the Cooperating Group program!

BoatU.S. provides a vast range of services, information and savings to recreational boaters, including:
· Members-only discounts and Member Rewards with West Marine equipment purchases
· Discounts on fuel, overnight slips, and repairs at more than 850 marinas nationwide
· BoatU.S. will pay up to $50 per incident On-The-Water Towing with your basic membership
· Higher-option per incident towing service levels are available up to Unlimited
· Access to high-value, low-cost group-rate boat insurance
· Full year subscription to the award-winning BoatU.S. Magazine
· An effective lobby that fights unfair taxes, fees, and government regulations that target boat owners

Now you can get 50% off of annual Membership dues when you join the nation’s largest association of recreational boat owners. You pay one-half of the regular BoatU.S. dues of $25 – that’s just $12.50 a year! ($15 for International Members – regularly $30)
For more information, contact Raft-up.com Administrators at admin@raft-up.com .
If you are renewing your BoatU.S. Membership, be sure to mention our Cooperating Group ID number available Only to Supporting Members to get the specially reduced rate.
We encourage you to take advantage of this valuable new program that is available only to BoatU.S. Cooperating Groups like us! We're thrilled to have arranged this program for our Supporting Members.
