I'm pleased *you* are so concerned about how much I might spend on fuel while boating, w'hine, but I'm not concerned. I rarely run a boat's engines "all day," and on those occasions when I do, I have the money to pay for the fuel. I'm sure some of our resident archivists will be able to dig up the post where you explained why you sold the 24 ft Parker because it burned too much fuel. Nope. That Parker was pretty efficient at cruise speeds, about 11-12 gph if memory serves. My last Parker burned 6-7 gph at cruise speeds. Of course, the assholes here can make a post and its headers say whatever they want. They really should get some help with their obsession. And you should lighten up, w'hine. -- Guns Don't Kill People -- Fundamentalist Religion Kills People! |

It wasn't that my Harry could not afford the fuel, as a good global citizen, no one should own a boat that big unless he was a commercial fisherman. My Harry believed that anyone with a large boat, should be taxed till they could no longer afford it. He also believes we should outlaw handguns.
