This is going to hit those of us in the marine industry hard. I bet gas is $3-$3.50 a gallon this summer. That means my grandfathers boat for example will cost, $750-$875 to fill up. On a trip we can burn through 2-4 tanks.

The powerboat industry is going to be hit hard, some people don't care and can afford it but a large % can't. I guess sailboats will become the in thing, and diesel boats will have even higher resale.

It is going to cost people $30k in fuel to bring a boat from CT to FL!
