Gas at the marina is over $5/gallon.

At 3 different times I have brought my friend's 45' Cabo, twin 800 hp Manns up from Florida or the Bahamas to Boston.

One trip I remember we fueled up in the Bahamsas, $2,000+,and refueled in St Augustine, Southport, Carolina again at Atlantic city NJ, and finally in Boston.

The fuel was averaging about 2.60/gal. It cost $8,700 for that trip. At today's prices a trip like that would be around $17,000.

When I got home from that trip I took my pickup truck to the gas station and filled it up . It came to $26. What a culture shock. - Tom

Boat will be used less for cruising and more as a swim platform in my view...
