The guys who have the big cigar boats here will be spending 3-4
thousand a weekend to play with their toys.


And complain about it loudly to anybody who'll listen. Many
of them will putt-putt around more slowly and discover they
get better mileage. Others will take the boat out less. Some
will sell out while you can still get money for such boats.

My prediction- in ten years or less, you'll be able to buy
all the SUVs and cigarette boats and ATVs you want, for
pennies on the dollar.

As I said a little while ago, when you consider what one of these
phallic substitutes costs, (say with quad blown 454s), upwards of half a
million clams, a few thousand in fuel is chump change. A good many of
those that I see up here are driven by daddy's spoiled brat anyway and
sure as shootin' they don't give a tinkers dam about spending daddy's
bucks!
