After further review (I added up the receipts), I burned 202.9 gallons...at $3.059 a gallon. So this year it's costing me about 3.50 a mile. That beats the heck out of $12 a mile last year!! (2 gallons a mile at cruise)
Plus, I can get the $.175 VA fuel tax refund until my lift is finished and I move her over to the new home permanently

Re: Memorial Day weekend damage report
Talk about bad Luck, Picked up my 06 353 on Friday afternoon. Saturday Morning was idling through a channel which was completely blocked by fishing boats so I idled outside the channel by about 7 to 10 ft and got into some rocks! Looks like I need all new lowers and a prop repair. AHHH!!! Nothing like an insurance claim on Day #2!!
The kicker is that I've been through there 1000 times, I knew not to get to far outside, but I wanted to be the nice guy and avoid the fishermen as much as possible. Looks like I learned my lesson. I'll be buzzing the tower next time.
