Yep.

The latest Sport Fishing magazine has a profile of a 42' Yellowfin center
console with FOUR 300-hp outboards. Engines burn 113 gph at WOT (67 mph)
but only (!) 41 gph at a 40 mph cruise.

Well, fools and their money are soon parted, but I believe anyone who buys
one of these deserves to be hit with some sort of horrific fuel wastage
tax, maybe a non-tax deductible charge of, say, $20,000 just for owning
such a resource waster.

Boats and fuel wastage like this just puts us all deeper in the hole to
the Saudi pigs.

The problem Harry is where do you draw the line? To some, your fuel usage
on a "non-essential" luxury such as your Parker is wasteful.

I think these things tend to self-goven .... as they should in a free
society.
