The fuel tanks on most, if not all, boats are farther from their
engines than the fuel tanks on jetskis are, simply by virtue o
the fact that most boats are bigger than jetskis if nothing else.

A few summers ago I rented a 40-foot houseboat on Lake Sonoma in
the wine country of Northern California. There'd been an incident
a year or two previously where a kid swimming near the dock had
been electrocuted by straw current, so the "solution" was to cut
off all electricity to the dock. As a result, the houseboat-
rental guys had to refuel their boats from jugs.

Wine jugs?
