Whether you’ve never set foot on a snowmobile or you’re a seasoned rider, our Snowmobile Demo Day is the perfect time to come have some fun in the snow, for free. We will be spending Saturday, February 21st from 10am – 3pm with some snowmobiles, some club members, and maybe even you!

We will be offering riding instructions and safety tips, as well as scheduled riding sessions. This is a great opportunity to learn about riding, or just to rip around a bit at no charge. There’s even a nice warming hut to go thaw out in after your ride. What have you got to lose?

You must RSVP to attend this event. When you do so, we will send you directions and set up a riding time for you. Please indicate your preferred riding time when you RSVP. This is a family-friendly event, so feel free to bring everyone.

Please join us for our first
Open House of 2009!

Everyone is experiencing the pinch right now, and maybe you’ve had to put your luxury hopes and dreams on hold. We understand that times are tough and we’re here to tell you that you can still reward yourself with a fun-filled 2009 without flushing your savings down the drain.

Club DreamLife offers memberships starting at $199/mo, complete with interest-free in-house financing. Instead of a hefty boat payment and a depreciating asset on your hands, we encourage you to consider membership as a smart alternative.

We hold Open Houses throughout the year as a way for people to get a closer look at our Club in a pressure-free setting. Feel free to stroll through the warehouse, hop in the vehicles for a hands-on experience, and discuss membership options with Club representatives or current members.

Let us know you’ll be stopping by so we can provide enough refreshments for everyone.

We are a family-friendly environment, so we encourage you to bring the whole crew. Remember, the family that plays together stays together.

See you there!

We know that sinking feeling…

Getting a loan for a luxury item is becoming increasingly difficult. With interest rates and down payments on the rise, who has the patience, let alone the funds, to buy a boat? Local and national news stories report the highest boat repossession rate in a decade. People can no longer afford moorage fees, so they are pulling their vessels out of the water and storing them in their driveways. Of course, then they must face the added costs of winterization, and a higher depreciation rate. One Northwest boat owner asked, “Do I want to spend the $10,000 a year on maintaining a boat, moorage, maintenance, insurance, fuel, etc?” (Source: King 5 News, Seattle, November 2008).

We think not.

So, what’s the bailout? Where is OUR stimulus package?? Is the life of luxury and recreation really closing its doors, leaving us holed up in our recession-proof remodeled kitchens as heating bills rise and the seasons pass us by? Well, thanks for everything, Congress, but we think we might have another solution. AND it costs–ahem–a lot less than $700 billion.

To put it simply, Club DreamLife is your answer! Instead of just one vehicle, you have access to ski boats, fishing boats, WaveRunners, snowmobiles, ATVs, RVs, and more. Forget about storage, maintenance, and licensing fees. Enjoy free club accessories like wakeboards and safety gear. Take advantage of discounts with local retailers like Next Adventure and Rack Attack. Receive friends and family discounted rental rates. Use our reservation system to lock in your time with the vehicles of your choice. Rest easy that all of your vehicles are being taken care of, without you having to lift a finger! Instead of one boat payment that doesn’t include maintenance, storage, accessories, or other hidden costs, join the club today starting at only $199/month! No baloney, we’re serious. Luxury is back in business, my friends.

Now THAT’S what we like to call sharing the wealth.

Stop by our Open House on Friday December 5th from 4pm-8pm to learn more.

Not sure what to get your boyfriend-who-has-everything, or aunt-who-lives-for-snow-season, or aspiring-wakeboarder-grandkids this holiday season? You could settle for a generic restaurant gift card, or you could always go with the proverbial slipper socks…but why not get them something this year that will turn into happy memories that will last a lifetime?

We are now offering Club DreamLife gift certificates, available for purchase through the end of the year. One certificate is good for a full day with the recipient’s choice of a Club DreamLife snowmobile, ATV, or WaveRunner. Think of it like a choose your own adventure book, but with a lot more adrenaline. This is also a great way to try out the Club for a day if you’re thinking about becoming a member.

Call 503-252-9282 for details, and maybe you’ll finally bring a smile to your mainstream-gifts-are-uncool-teenagers this year…

It has been brought to our attention by a fellow club member that the Oregon State Marine Board has proposed some restrictions on boats pulling recreational devices (wakeboards, skis, tubes, etc.) in certain areas of the Willamette River. As club members, these new rules may play a large role in the way you spend your summers. The Marine Board involves boaters, local officials, the public and law enforcement in determining whether rules are necessary, so we all have a say in this decision. OSMB invites you to comment by sending an e-mail to osmb.rulemaking@state.or.us, or by attending the appropriate public meeting, which will be held at 7pm on September 9th at the Clackamas County Community College.

This proposal would:
- Prohibit 180 degree turns at speed
- Require boats to stay 200 feet behind skiers and other towed devices
- Prohibit the use of wake enhancing devices, or uneven loading of persons or gear to artificially
operate bow high
- Require boaters to operate at slow-no-wake speed within 200 feet of all private docks or
moorages

You can read more about the proposed restrictions here:

Please take a moment to read over what may have a strong impact on your summer recreation. We have been given the opportunity to make our voices heard in the rulemaking process that affects our lives, so do consider commenting so we can continue to enjoy our public waterways to the fullest. Thanks.

If you’ve read the news at all in the past few months, you’ve probably heard the term “staycation.” This seems to have come about because people are trying to find ways to save money, but still enjoy some summer fun. Maybe it’s not a great idea to fly to some exotic island location with airfares on the rise, but you can still taste the tropics while lounging on an amazing boat in the summer sun right here in the Northwest. A Club DreamLife membership can get you the boat on a budget, and we just let nature take care of the rest. Yay for summer in the Northwest!

We are very pleased to be featured in the East County Gazette this month, where you can read all about the life of luxury the Club offers without the heavy price tag. A “staycation” has never been more tempting…

DreamLife—“Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream”
by Dan Bosserman

Have gasoline prices got you down? Have you put your summer vacation plans on hold for a while? Are you considering a “staycation” instead of a vacation? Or had you been considering a recreational vehicle, but can’t see how you can afford it, much less store it or maintain it?

Jason Russo and Matt Maher, owners of DreamLife MotorSports, located near Portland International Airport, have an affordable alternative to spending tens of thousands of dollars on recreational vehicles you may only use a few times each year. read more…

A Member’s Recent DreamLife Experience:

We were lucky enough to have 2 DreamLife weekends in a row – the hottest weekend of summer and the 4th of July. Both times we cruised to the warehouse early on the designated morning and were greeted by clean, fueled, ready to rock boats at the door and were on our way in no time flat. For 4th of July we added a Waverunner to entertain even more people and Matt was nice enough to provide the extra truck to launch it and get us on our way for maximum playing time.

For our first weekend we headed down to Boone’s Landing on the upper Willamette and by the time we hit the water at 10 am it was almost 90 degrees! Soon enough we had 10 people and enough food and drinks to last us the whole weekend. Most of the good riding came before noon and after 6 – in between we surfed, swam, rocked out and had an amazing time (and drank lots of water). The X1’s auto ballast system and plenty of friends provided an absolutely sick surf wave both regular and goofy – both tall and strong but also very long. We introduced 4 new people to the sport (all to rave reviews) and now it’s pretty easy to fill the boat with friends when we say we’re going surfing.

The next day the clouds rolled in, but it stayed warm so we went down to Ross Island and surfed circles around the gravel pit for hours and ran across lots of friends out on the water doing the same thing. Thunder storms rolling in finally sent us off the water but not before everyone was sore from tons of playing and an incredible weekend. The easy up bimini totally saved the day Sunday, too, as we beat the thunder and lightning but not the rain! For the 4th we had both the X1 and one of the Yamaha Waverunners, and a long weekend with the boat. Friday was family day and with siblings, aunts, uncles nieces and nephews. I don’t think we turned off either boat the entire day (despite Oregon 4th of July weather) and we easily entertained the 40 or so people celebrating Independence Day. After playing entertainer on Friday, we reserved Saturday for some private ripping. We grabbed just a couple friends and the wakeboards and headed up toward Camas to get off the main river and found some great water. We rode in there for hours just ripping back and forth and trying to get better (aka taking massive diggers). That Sunday we went back downtown to check out the Blues Festival and had a big picnic lunch right out at the waterfront before, of course, heading back to Ross Island to finish up the weekend with some great surfing sessions.

It was an amazing couple of weekends with friends and family and it was made that much better to have the boat of my dreams to make it all happen with. I have been fielding emails from friends all weekend asking when they can “live the DreamLife” again, and I’m currently counting down to the next trip: a long summer weekend camping trip in Central Oregon!
