I agree with the original post -- gas is a drop in the tank compared to the overall cost of boat ownership. I think we're very fortunate that the price of gas isn't a factor in our boat usage. But when you add up all the rising costs, it does end up being a real choice for some people: Another six pack or another gallon a gas for the boat? Another hot fudge sundae or another gallon of gas in the boat?

While the reasons for the perceived downturn in boat traffic may be many and unclear, one thing is certain: I'll never complain about having less traffic on the water.
