Post by: Maritime Matt on March 01, 2011, 08:27:08 AM: I talked to my gas guy and he said 4 bucks. Dam near as bad. Won't stop me from boating/fishing.
When I researched for a new boat back in 2001, I kept this in mind along with other factors such as job status, income etc. Its what led me to buying this Maritime Skiff. 20' boat, pilothouse,
small cabin w/head, just 90HP and a 29 gal fuel tank. Super low maintainance boat and superior fuel economy and most important seaworthy.

Post by: WATSNEXT on March 01, 2011, 09:16:52 AM: Then in another year they'll feel us out for $7.00 a gallon and make that happen
Amazing how they made money when they were regulated and sold for $1.50 (that was 7 years ago, not so long ago) and now they make obscene profits and it's never enough. But I guess thats why they were regulated...There crippling us with crushing overcharges that effect everything and it's all greed motivated..WAKE UP AMERICA

Post by: Reckless on March 01, 2011, 09:17:27 AM: Are we talking at the stations or marina? 2 years ago wasn't it 4 something? I firmly believe the whole thing is manipulated. If they push it to high it will put the brakes on the economy. I think they know that they can't push it much past 3.75.

Just my thoughts.

Post by: Duffman on March 01, 2011, 06:37:00 PM: Amazing. 5 bux a gallon on the horizon.

I watch deal after deal roll out the door where I work on SUV's and P'ups that avg 14-16 city and slighty more on the highway.

THEN the new owners come back in a week saying it cost $110 to fill the tank that lasted only a few days.

Hell, I understand the commercial guy who runs a construction/landscape/tow/etc business and NEEDS that size of truck.

Its the soccer mom, with 2 kids, who drives a 23 foot SUV with a 6 liter and bitches about gas.

Annoys me.

If you can afford the 90K SUV, you can afoord the gas.

Post by: ped579 on March 06, 2011, 02:59:51 PM: Somehow Skip they will find a way to charge for that thing to be on the water. I know if I put an electric motor on the yak I will have to go through classes and registering it. What a joke.

Post by: Pops Soul on March 06, 2011, 03:58:14 PM: Nice Art, just read an article on electric motors, one mistake guys make with electrics is they buy ones that are under powered for the job they want it to do. rgmn
Title: Re: Gas going up to around $5.00 per gallon.
Post by: rugman on March 06, 2011, 04:27:03 PM: Well I allway's buy the biggest one like a 55 pound trush for the back and the Bow will have the same but you will never use it more then half the speed for fishing. Some thing like that ;D
