Boat Rex
Read full descriptionHide full description
Boat Rex allows you to locate your next boating location along with existing marinas, boat storage, service providers and yes, boats for sale. Along with allowing you to keep track of who did what, when and what is yet to be completed. I originally set out to develop this for my own use, but felt that it is something that may be useful for the family of boaters. This is my first deployment and I plan on having regular updates, so stay tooned!
