The price wont stop up from boating this summer, but we've already talked about tubing less and using the jetskis less. Fortunately, our honda is pretty reasonable on gas. My FZJ80 is less forgiving at the pump on my hour drive to the lake.

Im not quitting due to gas prices. :alright
My toon only drinks like 1.5 gallons an hour.
Prob only put 2 hours on it in a day at most.
We mostly just drive to a cove, turn off the motor, anchor up with a gang of friends, n hang out.
I prob spend more money on beer. :nana :drink :rofl :thumbsup
