The Georgia DNR reports that over Memorial Day weekend, boating on
Lake Lanier was down 50%.


POWERBOAT use on Charleston Harbor was down a lot more than 50%.. *The
sailboaters rejoicing so loud is kinda disgusting....(c;


Even up the river at my house there was almost no waterskiing going on. *
Jetski use was also much less on the Ashley River at Charleston..


With the cost of gasoline, middle income folks with 20 something
footers have to decide between 10 trips to the water, and the week at
the cottage/trip to disney... Many are choosing the vacation over the
boat. BTW, I am going to try to build a Brockway if my health holds
out. I will let you all know when it goes on sale, you all have first
dibs... My boats use an average of 2 *to 10 gallons a day

I draw em up or buy them. If you want to build a workskiff, I can set
you up fine. I will follow up by email.- Hide quoted text -

We could build them on line if you want. Maybe folks here would be
interested to watch.... I could go do it at the builders group, but
this will just be a knockdown slap up build... *got a digital camera?


I'd love to watch!
