Pulling the boat to save $15? Consumer Reports stated (about 15 years ago) that the cost of operating a car was 40¢ per mile!

My eight-boat fleet still uses about $8 of gas per season. (Yes, fleet's up from last season's six).

Winnipesaukee looks nicer when you're not rushing around.

(IMO).

Interesting point. Are marinas pumping a higher octane gas -- and more expensive -- to satisfy performance engines? And are family-boaters in the subsidy business as a result?
