My suggestion would have minimal if any impact on the manufacturers of

It would be hard to enforce a gas tax on small boats since people
usually just bring the gas to the boat in cans. You really can't tell
whether I am buying "boat gas" or gas for my lawn mower.


Hey, I am in favor of any nearly rational system that makes "excessive
use" of dwindling natural resources *very* expensive for the offenders,
and I've already voted: any individual's boat that can burn 100+ gallons
an hour is, by definition, "excessive use."

We're either going to take energy conservation seriously, or we're going
to run out of oil sooner rather than later.


The thing I find crazy...every year the outboard manufacturers bring out a
bigger & more powerful engine.
When will it ever stop?
