Yep.

The latest Sport Fishing magazine has a profile of a 42' Yellowfin
center console with FOUR 300-hp outboards. Engines burn 113 gph at WOT
(67 mph) but only (!) 41 gph at a 40 mph cruise.

Well, fools and their money are soon parted, but I believe anyone who
buys one of these deserves to be hit with some sort of horrific fuel
wastage tax, maybe a non-tax deductible charge of, say, $20,000 just for
owning such a resource waster.

Boats and fuel wastage like this just puts us all deeper in the hole to
the Saudi pigs.

The problem Harry is where do you draw the line? To some, your fuel usage
on a "non-essential" luxury such as your Parker is wasteful.

I think these things tend to self-goven .... as they should in a free
society.

Here is an even bigger way to get deeper into the hole. How much more
should those folks pay?

a pretty ship.

Like some other brands, it is "purpose built".

That wasn't my point, but that's OK.

I don't think any of the cruise ships have had 'most' of the people sick.
That would number in the thousands. But, when a hundred or so get sick on a
cruise ship, it's big news. Of course, that hasn't happened on a Disney
ship -- yet.
