For many, the gas prices are just a minor irritant. For others, it's the last straw.
I usually buy in the fall or winter, but I found there are screaming bargains available now.

The rates are already on the rise...but they are still good vs 7-8% not too long ago. I dont feel we will see a rate break for atleast 18 months. If your hoping the rates will drop a couple in the next yr...its a crap shoot. For what its worth I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

Re: Price of fuel - impact on boat market?
I'm looking for a 27-29 performance boat...late 80s early 90s...the prices on the boats I'm looking at haven't moved much if at all. I guess these boats are on the bottom of the depreciation curve. As I look at the price of gas on the water a 27 single engine boat probably makes more sense than a 29 with twins.

Filled up the tank the weekend before the SCOPE trip from Newport to San Diego.......UGH! Added another 150 gallons in San Diego for the return trip.
