most of the gang I hang with always offers to kick in for fuel; I generally decline but am open to food and beverages which they bring in abundance. and as US1 said" friends don't friends quit boating" - Jeff

When I went on a poker run with one of my buddies (on his boat), I made him take money from me...he seriously wouldn't accept it, but I wasn't taking no for an answer either. No one has ever done that to me...

I dunno....I hardly used my boat this year compared to usual and still managed to spend $3K in fuel so far.... I made two long runs and the rest was cruising locally....
fuel is fast becoming one of the added "expenses" of boating... Unless you're really well off than it doesnt matter but most people can't afford to spend $1K a weekend on fuel where it used to be about half or a few hundy less.

I know times are not like they were, but I just jumped up to a 34' twin from a 23' single. As did my brother-in-law 31' SR1from 23 Rinker. My uncle jumped to a 330ss from a 28 Chris C. Another friend still has a 23 and can't hardly stand it. At work, I've got two buddies who don't have boats and are looking to buy this fall. One recently sold a 27' Formula - looking at Cigs.
However there is a 2 year old CrownLine down the street bought new, that has not seen the water this year. I don't think they are boaters.
It can be Addictive and Contagious. We are still Boating.
