Not at all. As I stated many posts ago, a fuel usage surcharge tax for
boats burning more than X gallons an hour at cruise would be sufficient.
Let's say diesel/gas is $3.00 at the dock...you burn more than, say, 40
gallons an hour at cruise, you pay $6.00 or $9.00 a gallon.


I could live with that as neither of my boats burn anything close to that.
But there are others that would complain because offshore fishing is what
they do for recreation and they probably have a lot invested in it.




Let them complain.
