Charter captains will be getting crushed

Wow, this thread is demoralizing! Think I'll go take a warm bath and open a vein! I hope it isn't the end of boating as we know it.....

I have a friend who is very optimistic about the future. He believes that with the soaring costs of energy, there is huge incentive for the private sector to develop new means of producing energy, he believes there will be radical new technologies developed over the next 20 years. I can only hope he is right.

Thats a bit drastic Gordon !
But if you are serious, let me know ahead and I'll take that boat off your hands
Just kiddin

I'm hoping for a repeat of last year, didn't need to burn a lot of gas !
As for charters,
I think with higher gas prices, a lot of boat owners figure it's
cheaper to leave their boat tied up, get a group together to split the cost and book an affordable charter.

Just not the same when your buddy throws you 20 bucks for fuel.
