I think you are missing the point.
In your first post you made a point of why you were in your boat and whether it was for transportation or recreation. In this post you separated islanders who rarely tip from people who look like they have been on the water all day. Neither makes a difference.
The people serving you by pumping your gas don't really care about why you are boating, where you came from, or what your plans are. They appreciate a tip and the majority of people will tip them.
Most boaters will get gas less than 10 times per year. A $5 tip each time is insignificant compared to the cost of owning a boat.
