a. Don't take any fat chicks out in the boat with you
b. Since water is heavier than alcohol, take only beer to drink
c. When launching or recovering, just tie up boat directly to the ramp
dock-don't idle around to another out of the way location
d. Buy a boat with a Force L Drive so you will usually be under tow and not
running your engine
e. Don't swerve to avoid the lake lice
f. Insist women wear bikinis instead of one piece swim suits to save weight

I'm writing a "filler" with some fuel saving tips.

With a boat as economical as mine, I don't dare save too much fuel or it
will
begin increasing in volume and pouring through the vents. :-)
As a result, I haven't made a real thorough first hand study of fuel
saving
techniques.

So , I'm shamelessly trolling for ideas to add to the few I have already
thought to include.

So far I've got:

1. Make sure bottom is clean
2. Make sure boat is correctly propped
3. Make sure engine has been tuned up and serviced
4. Take excess gear off of boat to reduce weight
5. Reduce cruising speed, (without falling from plane if a planing hull).
6. Plan cruise consistent with tidal currents when applicable and possible

Any other good'ns?

f. Insist women wear bikinis instead of one piece swim suits to save

As long as a and f are both rigorously enforced, I'm with ya Bomar! ;-)
