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.

i dont know but my last year gas costs wernt too friendly .. maybe a little less time at the sandbar ? although the sanbar and half naked women works for me too ...

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

I'm F'ed in Cali, paid 2.64 today for 87. Still happy but I still like the 11-12 month boating season. Lol

$2.37 for 93 in South Carolina $ 3.19 for diesel $1.99 for reg.

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

diesel is 3.45 in cuse. thought it was a christmas present! only thing that sucks though is rumors about the saudis are trying to push competitors from the market, then who knows what will happen to the prices... :party-smiley-004:

Hey Doug- compared to these other guys, it is 12 months. Lol

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.
