There are some alternative fuel boats that have been around for a long
time, they are called sailboats.

My preference for a few reasons, but just won't work for me now.

Also, they are been some much publicized converted diesels that run on
bio-diesel that have made long ocean trips to encourage the use of
bio-diesel fuel.

Thanks. Interesting stuff. BTW, aside from the advantage of
traversing skinny water for fishing, what attracts me to skiffs is
their phenomenal fuel mileage compared to other powered boats.
For any long-distance boating, I prefer sail.
