General question:

Have this summer's higher prices for marine fuel changed the way in
which you use your boat or the frequency with which you use it?

If so, how?

If not, is there a price per gallon that you believe would influence
your boating activities or frequency? How high would that be?

Me: Slow boater with very fuel efficient boat, not making any changes
to usage. Price per gallon could double or triple without driving me
off the water, (but in a 150 engine hour year I will burn les than 400
gallons of fuel).

For many boaters, fuel is simply an incidental expense, but for others
(small fast boat with a big engine) it could represent a significant
percentage of total costs.

The extra 25 cents a gallon has had no effect on my boating. Having a
Belarussian kid for the past three weeks has seriously crimped the boating. He
wasn't much of a fisherman, although I did get him and a couple of the other
Belarussians out for one day. They all caught something, so it wasn't a waste!
