Fuel dock prices could shoot above $5. Any idea at what point people will just stop boating? This is a form of the 'luxury' tax a few years ago that collapsed the yacht makers. why WOULDN'T gas prices have the same effect? It ought to, and maybe it will lead to a downsizing in boats. Some of the best fun I've ever had in boats has been in small boats with small engines, and in small sailboats. Screw the oil companies and their partners in crime in the Gulf States. Yes..if all the citizens of the western world (especially the US) would think like that, we'd have half a chance with those %^$%^ oil barons. That Harry is such a neat guy, right Don? Do you reckon he'll sell the 25' Parker and the 36' lobsta' boat anytime soon? Funny that donnie boy would say that, considering the amount of oil the US gets from Canada The more you guzzle and create a high demand, the higher price I have to pay at the pumps. Simple enough for you? Well, let's see. The big Yamaha on the back of that 25'er probably burns 10-15 gph cruising. How much do you reckon the powerplant in the lobsta boat burns. Maybe a couple of big gassers in there, or a couple humongus diesels. What do you think? Is your hero helping your cause? |
