I hope this mess ends soon. It will be interesting to see if there is any decline in boat usage if the gas price stays high into the summer. I have a boat that gets about 1.5 MPG. Even if you can afford it, you have to be thinking about the cost of fuel if it gets to the $6 per gallon range.
For me, $6 wouldn't change how often I go out, but it would fundamentally change what I do when out. Fewer port/restaurant visits and cross-lake trips to sandbars and more anchoring out in coves with picnic lunches, etc.

The jetski piece will be interesting as I think it'll be fairly similar. Instead of heading to Wolfeboro for lunch, we'll stop to swim and anchor out closer to home.
