It doesn't seem to be affecting boat usage down here in NC. At $2.90-3.00 a gallon (not lake gas) there are still plenty of people using boats, myself included. I can see $3.50 having more of an impact, but boats are a huge pleasure hobby for a lot of people and they will use them regardless. Like you said, to buy a boat for $25000 and then keep it docked because of the gas prices is silly. I would just watch any extra idling and speed.
