Ended up selling my salt boat for just this reason. I drift now, and share with a few close friends. I have a great friend who takes me to the salt when it's happening. The problem is this, if your friends have never owned a salt boat, they don't realize the aggregated cost of licensing, fuel, towing, storage/moorage, insurance, etc. It adds up faaaaasssst! When my budd takes me to the salt, I insist on paying for full gas, bait, and launching. He pays all year long for other items, why should he pay to take me? When I take him on a drift, he is my guest, and rides for free.
