This why I still have a commercial lic!! I will sell some keep some this is the only way i can suport my habbit!!

Boat gets 2.5 MPG,
Truck towing gets about 12 MPG!
its about 35 miles a day for the truck, and not sure for the boat, but I use about 16 to 18 gal a day for the Vinyard trips.
24 gal X 2.00 = $48.00 per trip.
200# fluke X $1.50 = $300.
$48 for gas + $10 Oil + $10 a day gear loss + $15 for food + $10 mis. =$93 which leaves a $207 profit
Thats if I get 200# Fluke?? And that is not every day!! Now take that money and pay for the new motor and conversion to the boat, fixing things around the boat and all the other stuff like tackle reels rods you get the Idea I am still in the hole!!
But I love it!!
