Just wondering if any of you larger boat guys are contemplating
downgrading your boat, or giving up time on the water this year due to
the high costs? I would think it would pretty much suck to have to
give up amenetities you have been accustomed to for so long. If so,
what do you have, what will you consider as an alternative?

Last year I started to spend more time at anchor, and less time pulling
water toys. I plan on enjoying nature and chatting with other boaters
in a peaceful cove.

I'm not one to live on the water, but last couple years we went out
quite a bit. at least 15 times the first year. Last year we boated
about as much even with 3.00 + fuel prices. I'll probably boat as much
this year.

Actually, I've gone up in boat and engine size., from a 118 ft 3.0 4
cyl, to a 23' cuddie 350 V8. Haven't really tried it out yet, but
it's day is coming.
