Boathouse Credits

Time with the Boathouse, one hour at a time.

$150

Checkout arrives with the store connection. Orders attach to the lake on your account.

Overview

Boathouse credits buy time with the Boathouse, Lake Pulse's team of lake scientists. One credit is one hour of expert time. That covers calls, written answers, prep, and follow-up.

What the Boathouse does. Helps you collect and interpret your lake's data: choosing sampling locations, reading results, understanding trends, and making sense of Lake Atlas information. The Boathouse is not a lake management consulting service and does not recommend specific treatments or applications.

How credits are used. Written answers are debited in 15-minute increments (0.25 credit). Calls are booked in 30- or 60-minute blocks. Before any work over 30 minutes, the Boathouse sends an estimate for your approval. Larger efforts become a fixed-price Data & Services project.

Where credits go. Credits belong to your lake's account. Your Lake Admin decides who can use them. Your balance and every use appear on your account page.

Who can buy. Plus, PRO, and Lake Admin subscribers. Purchased credits are valid for 12 months.

What problem does this solve for our lake?

  • Lake data raise questions that a chart cannot answer on its own. Is this result normal for our lake? Did the change we made show up in the data? Which test would actually answer the question our board is asking?
  • Boathouse Credits buy time with people who read lake data for a living. Use them for a call, a written answer, a review of past results, or help planning what to measure next. One credit is one hour, and you only spend what the question needs.
  • The Boathouse helps you collect and interpret your lake's data. It does not recommend treatments or act as your lake management consultant.

About this service

Data services organize, standardize, and interpret information, much of it created by others. Historical data is carried forward as recorded in the source documents, with original dates, methods, and laboratories noted where available; Lake Pulse does not alter reported values and does not re-verify the accuracy of third-party data. Interpretation reflects the data available at the time and reasonable professional judgment, in accordance with best practices. It is not an engineering, legal, financial, appraisal, or regulatory determination. Recommendations are options to consider; decisions, and responsibility for any action taken, rest with you.
