Per-boat calendars with turnaround for refuelling and checks, maintenance holds that pull a boat off the booking page, and a history per hull of who took it out and what came back.
Inventory for a boat rental business
A marina does not rent "a pontoon"; it rents unit 2, which has 412 engine hours, half a tank, and a scratch on the port side from last Tuesday. Share Marketplace tracks each boat, jet ski, kayak and paddleboard as its own unit with hours, fuel at departure and return, photos and a history, so the booking page only offers what is actually at the dock and ready.
Turnaround between rentals (refuel, walk-around, wipe-down) blocks the calendar automatically, and a maintenance hold takes a boat out of service with a note and a date range. Life jackets, coolers and tow tubes are countable add-ons that ride on the same booking.
One calendar per hull
Identical boats can be grouped so the customer books the class and you assign the unit at the dock, but every hull keeps its own hours, fuel and history.

Group identical craft, assign at the dock
Refuel time is on the calendar
Set the minutes between rentals per craft type; a jet ski needs less than a pontoon. A maintenance hold pulls a boat off the booking page until it is back.

Questions about every boat, hour and fuel level, on one calendar.
Can I track engine hours per boat?
Yes. Hours and fuel are recorded on the handover checklist at departure and return, and the boat’s history shows every rental.
What happens when a boat needs service?
A maintenance hold takes it off the booking page for the dates you set, with a note; the calendar shows the hold and the reason.
