People that have boats might use there boats more often....I don't think that there will be spike in new boat orders because of it believe me I wish it would. The people that have the money to order a new boat could care less about the current gas prices.

^^^Agreed. And really, for most of us - what percentage of the yearly boating expenditure is gas? A small amount, compared to maintenance costs, insurance costs, 'oh s**t, I broke...' costs, marina costs, etc.

^^^ Agreed also..... With a 5 month boating season at best, I spend more on bling, wax, updates and maintenance than I spend on gas!

Chad, You always refer to the 12 month boating season in California. I did the Pittsburg to San Francisco run with Rick Bowling in his Gone Again Talon last saturday. It was a nice ride but only because it has a canopy. My boat would have been a cold ride. Southern Caifornia maybe, northern, not so much. The 3 dollars for premium made for a $450 dollar burger rather than a $750 burger at $5 gas. Should be a great summer. Doug

For the ballers,yes. But when figuring out a budget cheaper operating costs might make one pull the trigger? Gas prices that soared were some of the demise of new boat production.
