I have been boat shopping pretty hard and have it narrowed down to 2 boats that have big block blower motors (old race boats that need to be converted....cant stand to wait anymore to save for the mti..) but I keep going back to how nice it was to run that 28 skater all weekend on 70 gallons maybe the 28 could hold me over for a couple seasons til the mti is more feasable or some pre-owned ones start popping up.....I keep hoping the guy will turn lose of the original virgin boat that is just sitting but no avail..
I keep cringing at 1k a weekend for fuel that is about 16-20 a summer
anybody need to refinance

Re: Nort's corner gas station.
The Government regulated prices for the drug companies, why not do it for petroleum.. 
Spoke to my father-in-law today, he's in Ft. Meyers. He said that some gas stations are out of gas down there and others have really long lines.

They said the southeast is more dependent on gas refined from the gulfcoast but I don't know...
Sounds like a little panic too !
