I agree. We don't want to get reported, do we, just when we're trying to be civil?

It just cost me $100 to fill the truck. With gas prices still on the rise it will be interresting to see how busy it is Memorial day weekend around the lakes region.

My bet is that it will be very busy. My evidence: today's boating activity, 1 April, 2012. Temperature: 50 degrees, 1 week after ice-out. Weather prediction: rain/snow tonight.

And the boat traffic is very high. You have to be nuts to go out there in this temperature. But lots of people are, even with high gas prices.

You should have seen downtown Laconia. Elbow to elbow on the river bridges.

People are always excited to get their boats out after winter... the question is will a high usage model continue through out the summer....

My guess is now it will not.... Boating and traveling to the lakes region is going to be a expensive proposition this summer....

I expect high usage as normal for the Memorial day, Labor day weekends, but I think the rest of the summer is not going to be.

Last time fuel peaked during boating season, I thought I noticed bigger crowds on holiday weekends and a big drop-off on regular summer weekends. I think people focus what little money they have and make an extra big day out of holidays then just scrimp the rest of the summer.

I agree with JRC.....

The only reason I didn't mention the 4th of July in my post is that it is in the middle of the week....

I think this year I will be glad I also have a jetski..... 10 gallons of gas for the Jet Ski = fun all weekend long... 10 gallons of gas in the boat = one short boatride, and maybe a quick tubing run with the kids....

I was talking with someone last week who has one, she said she can go through $30.00 of gas in a day out on the lake on her jetski. But then again at these prices thats what 5 and 6 gallons.

Just depends on your use model.... Having water front property, I don't take the Jetski out and ride around all day.... If I take two or 3 adventures a day, I use 4 or 5 gallons..... its all relative to exactly what you are doing... Because I have also gone out on the Jet ski, exploring, and use 2/3 of my 15 gallon take in an afternoon....
