Default Boaters changing behavior in response to fuel costs.

In February, I flew down to Ft. Lauderdale. Cost me $250 round trip.
I went charter fishing one day with three other guys, cost me $275.


Cost *you* personally $275...or $275 each? There were 4 of us.



Just me.






One night of the hotel was around $300.


Which is more than the $250/night that I cited.



Yeah, and I got a "rate." It was a $500 a night room. Don't ask.





Ate maybe $50 of food that day, probably half that.


Once again, you're talking about just *you*. Multiply by the four of us.

I think your numbers are a bit off.


Yes, if you're only thinking about yourself.

By my calculations, your trip cost you $875 for two days and one
night...with a day of fishing.

My trip cost around $1400 but was divided by four people (actually 3 adults
and my son).



Actually, I have just as much fun on the the "head boat" charters out of
Haulover Inlet, since they only have to head a mile or so offshore for
some terrific fishing. Those run about $30 for a half day.
