Carrying gas down to the docks gets old real fast.

True.
Not to mention the hazards involved. Plus, It's time consuming and

Only unavoidable hazard is a sore back. You have the body to handle
it, or not. See below.
you get to smell like raw gas when you are done.

Only if you carelessly spill it.
All this to save $2.50 per Jerry Jug full of gas
Is it worth it? Ante up fellas or find another hobby.

Worth it? Maybe not.

Get a yoke like the ones used by third worlders to carry two buckets
of water. Puts the weight on the shoulders instead of the hands. Holds
the cans away from the body so that they don't hit the outside of the
knees.

My boat[175 hp 22 ft cuddy] has the fill openings on the sides of the
boat, and without a really complicated funnel, you can't fuel from
cans while underway, or on the trailer. Maybe one side if alongside a
dock.

If your marina will allow it, this looks like a good way to save some of
the cost of gas. At about $380 it would take a while to pay for itself, but
then again maybe not, if you do a lot of boating.

Here's another version at a little more than half the price.
