Boy are you right. I spent 3 hours in the Bay the other day. Went everywhere I wanted and caught a ton of Bass. Total gas consumed...1.5 gallons. My Yami 90 4 stroke sips gas as long as I stay around 3500 rpms. Up around 4200 I burn a LOT more so I have been staying off the trottle and really saving.

If I did the drive to Narragansett I would have burned 7 gallons. 125 mile R/T 18 MPG 7 gallons @ 3.60 a gallon= $25.00.

Way cheaper in my boat and, as Dave said, easier on this old body

No boat, back in the suds.

Right you are Jim. I still have the urge to hit the rocks though. Especially on a real rainy windy night. Man, did we use to do a number on those kind of nights. NE wind and high at midnight with no moon. ....and you know where.
