Default Fuel Consumption -- a justification

OK how many have heard from their "significant other" that that hunk of fiberglass is using way too much gas and it costs too much money to operate???

Come on - be honest!!!

Here's what a friend of mine emailed me just today

"Thanks George. Glad to hear that you are getting plenty of boating time. Sounds to me like a dedicated Dad that is putting in as many family boating hours as he can to make sure that everyone knows just how much he wants to spend time with them. The gas is just an investment in the family. "


YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT!!!!!

I don't worry about the price of fuel. That is the cheapest part of the hobby.

If fuel was all I had to pay for I'd be a happy camper

I have company truck for work. So I just say it's the money I would spend driving to work if I didn't have the company truck.

She is more mad about the random, "Hey I bought this for the boat." Then seeing the bill after its already ordered.
