Some folks are speculating that gas can hit $4/gallon this year. Fuel

effect?



It ought to, and maybe it will lead to a downsizing in boats. Some of
the best fun I've ever had in boats has been in small boats with small
engines, and in small sailboats. Screw the oil companies and their
partners in crime in the Gulf States.


Yes..if all the citizens of the western world (especially the US) would
think like that, we'd have half a chance with those %^$%^ oil barons.


That Harry is such a neat guy, right Don? Do you reckon he'll sell the
25'
Parker and the 36' lobsta' boat anytime soon?

Funny that donnie boy would say that, considering the amount of oil the US
gets from Canada

The more you guzzle and create a high demand, the higher price I have to pay
at the pumps. Simple enough for you?


Well, let's see. The big Yamaha on the back of that 25'er probably burns
10-15 gph cruising. How much do you reckon the powerplant in the lobsta
boat burns. Maybe a couple of big gassers in there, or a couple humongus
diesels. What do you think? Is your hero helping your cause?
