New Jersey refueling question......
I'm sorry for being off topic but I cant seem to get an answer to my question.
Hoping other boaters will help. I just bought a boat and it is in a municipal area with slips, not a marina. Can I refuel the boat out of 5 gal approved cans? I hate paying $1.99 a gal at a marina. What is the law if any. Thanks, Joe. Sorry for being off topic. |

New Jersey refueling question......
It depends, but my guess is most marinas will discourage or flat out deny
you. Look at it from their perspective for a minute. Do you bring your own food to a restaurant and ask to use their kitchen? How much gas are you talking about? Are you really saving that much money in terms of the time and effort to port a few gallons? If you save .50 on 30 gallons, you are at $15. I look at it this way, I have limited amount of time to enjoy my boat, so why waste any of it? My time is more valuable to me than the amount I save by doing it all myself. Think of what you might save in that regard the next time you get to the marina and your boat is gassed and ready for you to step on and go. p.s. I now have my boat behind my house on a lift, but I used to keep one at a marina. "Jodon2" wrote in message ... I'm sorry for being off topic but I cant seem to get an answer to my question.

I have 2 150 gallon tanks, a total of 300 gallons in my boat and it can suck
down most of that quickly when running hard. I could save quite a bit on gas if I could haul that much to the boat Perhaps a better solution is to get some friends who like to go boating with you and can share the cost of fuel. Anyone who likes boating ought to be willing to share some of the costs. It is only fair. "DownTime" wrote in message om...

Joe,
You might be interested in a gas caddy. Page 500 in current Boat US catalog. They have a 11 gallon model for $130 and 28 gallon model for $300. I have a buddy that has one but he lives on a canal.
