New Boats COMING IN - 03/19/26
Break-In Skippers Needed for NEW BOATS!
We're starting to receive brand-new boats that require a standard 10-hour engine break-in period before full use (including tow sports).
Break-In Skipper Perks:
🛟 Get exclusive early access to these brand new boats!
🛟 We cover half of your fuel costs during the break-in runs.
Key Operating Conditions (must be followed to maintain warranty and engine health):
🛟 No wide-open throttle (WOT) for more than 5 minutes at a time.
🛟 Vary RPMs frequently—don't hold steady speeds for long periods.
🛟 No towing (wakeboarding, tubing, skiing, etc.) until the engine reaches 10 hours.
This is a great way to enjoy the water on new boats while helping us prep them properly. Once the 10 hours are logged, the boats open up for full unrestricted use.
If you're interested in signing up as a break-in skipper, please text Captain Foster directly at 936-788-4344.
Thanks for helping keep our fleet in top shape!

FROM THE BRIDGE
REMINDER FOR FBC CLUB DRIVERS
Please take time to read, especially if it's been a while since you trained.
The Club Team is dedicated to making your boating experience memorable. We love seeing our Members, their friends and families having fun on Lake Conroe.
What’s new: We continue remind Members of some serious dos and don'ts to make their boating experience the best the lake has to offer.
Frankly, we would love to allow Members to beach boats... and go under bridges BUT each year we have bibini tops torn or bent back... and rocks and debris pulled up into stem drives. As a man-made lake, we do not have sandy shores. The damage to bottoms of boats makes beaching on Lake Conroe a NO GO. FBC PLUS will not apply in these cases.
We are so sorry, but It is not fair to other Members to have boats unavailable for avoidable damage.
⏺️ DOS and DON'TS: Please take a few minutes to review the dos and don'ts of boating on Lake Conroe.
