EPA one reason. Higher prices for fuel from Marina Operators another.
Since it is not for road use, taxes should be less? They should have a
price advantage. If they passed, that along, to Boaters, no one would
buy it on the way to the marina.
Another problem is fewer people are boating or at least as much because
of the economy and higher marina fuel prices as well as elsewhere.

EPA regulations are a big reason. New tank regulations have greatly
increased the cost and regulatory complexity for selling fuels of all
types. Small volume sellers frequently find it cheaper and easier to
just get out of the business.


Yep. Large gas station retailers can keep pace with the tank and
saftey upgrades, but most (especially the small ones) Marina stores
can't. If EPA steps in and says you have to spend $70,000.00 to meet
their update requirements or quit selling fuel, what are you gonna do?
Especially if you don't sell that much gross in a year?
This doesn't include the liability insurance of a tank leakage into
the lake, harbor or river, and clean up fees etc.

Ah.. back to conspiracy theories about the evil black man I see.

PS - Please don't construe this as a personal insult. I don't endorse
that behavior.

Good point, but if I had a crew I would rather have them on deck in
bikinis than slinging gas.
