I don't see gas prices changing the used or new boat market, after all most sport/performance boats are owned by middle to upper class people, it won't slow me down, i might not go as far in the boat, but i will still be on the water

I just pluck 20's out of my wallet when the weather is cold and throw them in a jar. When it warms up retrieve them and it is like your gas is free. Now the beer is another story, won't fit in the jar!

I think Biggus has left for Miami, so I will try and get it correct for him. He purchased his Baja when we were heading off to the Gulf war. I think he paid under 40 for it BRAND NEW in 1991 (I think it was) He just sold it this last summer for just over 30K. Not bad for owning a boat for over 10 years!!!!!!!

If anybody doesn't think the used boat market doesn't suck right now you have got to be blind. I mean Audacity can't even give that AT away, Look how long it took TooOld to sell the Sonic, How about Nort's Formula. Theres a handfull of cigs out there that you would have to be a fool to pass up on. The market is flat And what sucks is that will stop me from upgrading because I would need to sell before I could buy. I an sure that will stop many others as well.

As far as the gas goes I'd friking paddle if I had to. No way gas prices would keep me off the water.
