To go fast or not to go fast
I guess this could be one way of slowing us down on the lake, the fastre ou go the more gas you burn, I know one 23 foot 1988 cobalt Bow rider that will unfortunatley be staying on the mooring for more than usual

stay in port!
I bet a lot of boats will stay tied up at the dock. That is unless they use wind for power.

Gas!
I am budgeting for $4.25 while hoping it stays below $4.00
Live lobster is around $15 a pound now, so it could be a different summer for too many of us. I was planning to buy a new and bigger boat this spring. I have those plans on hold for now, driven by the cost of gas. No sense having more money tied up in a boat that is too expensive to use. Saw the Mount go in and out of the Weirs on the shake down cruise on Monday. I was at the kitchen table doing some work when I heard that horn blast. Great sound and a great sight! It is time to get the bottom of the boat wet! R2B |

19 mile
I heard 19 mile bay is planning on charging around $3.84 per gal. I think the 200 hsp will spend more time on the dock this year and the 7.5 hsp will be my main ride.:

Last time I was at the lake I put 200 miles on the GPS in 5 days divided by 1.4 mpg (at cruise) times the price per gallon =

Our gas in Connecticut may be $3.19 per gallon but I can tell you a couple of places where the lobster is $5.99 per pound.

Here is the crime in all this
So I was looking as the gas and oil prices have creeped up towards last years highs I looked at the price of crude according to Bloomberg. Crude is not even close to last years high..... it is currently in the mid 60$ per barrell, as opposed to last years highs in the 70$ range... no what has sky rocketed is the price of gasoline futures which as of this morning are around $2.30.... what does all this mean... well the cost of the oil to refine is not anymore expensive and is in fact less expensive then last summer. Oh and by the way the gas at the pumps came form oil bought last winter that was in the 50$ per barrell range.... Then the last I knew there are no issues with refining capacities, the world is able to refine the same amount of gasoline as we where last summer..... and finally the Gas and oil companies are making huge profits....
Hummm do we know how to say cooperative Monopoly...... the gas companies know they have everyone by the shirt tails.... and they set the price and as long as they all stay together on the price, they can drive it to what ever high they want..... I will now step of my soap box and people can draw there own conclusions....

How long before
Society says enough is enough? It drives me crazy that we all take these price hikes in stride. I have certainly been talking to my local representatives and senators. I am only one voice, it will take many more before it makes a difference.

The refining capacity is lower than the current demand.Tell Al Gore and similar thinking leaders to stop halting refinery growth or this problem will only get worse as we consume more and more.Either that or take his advice and not his lead by riding a bike to work.

Our gas is not taxed as high but I would bet that our Federal and state taxes pay for many services that Europe's gas tax provides. It is like saying N.H has no state employment tax or sales tax . We have the lowest taxes in the country. Not when you figure we have the highest real estate taxes. |

your correct,ethanol reaches a saturation and drops to the bottom of your tank then getting picked up and put onto your fuel delivery system. First thing most boaters notice is an idling problem then stalling.Make sure your changing those fuel filters twice as often if you've run ethanol enriched fuel

MJM,what happens is the ethanol reaches a saturation point(its maximun absorption of water) and settles at the bottom of your fuel tank.That is where it gets picked up and put into the engine causing damage.It isn't as big a problem for automobile because of the change over of fuel(how quickly you burn a tank of fuel)and auto manufacturers still recommend upping how offten you change your fuel filter,if you go too long you'll find a grey mucus like substance it the filter which is the saturated ethanol

Why shouldn't the oil companies be allowed to charge whatever price the market will support? We have a market driven economy. That is what capitalism is. If we want cheaper gas, then we need to find a way to devalue it. Can you imagine what the first viable alternative to gas or the combustion powered vehicle would be worth? I don't understand why when it comes to gas we all spend so much time complaining about the price and so little on taking advantage of what could be an opportunity.

Gas boycott on 5/15
I just got several emails from friends with a message about a nationwide boycott. The message said we should all avoid buying gas on May 15th and see what happens. According to this message the last time this was tried a year or so ago the prices dropped that week. Maybe if we all do the 1 day boycott more people will get the message than if we write to our congressmen. Haven't seen that effort work too well here in NJ.

I received that one too. I don't see how that can be effective without an overall reduction in demand. This will only cause a one day reduction in cash flow for the oil companies followed by a spike when purchacing resumes on the 16th.

Goin' broke...
$3.43 at Fay's yesterday on the pump, the sign said $3.39. After spending $420 to fill 2 boats this weekend my throttle hand will certainly be lighter this season...

Could the high cost of fuel be what pushes the boating industry into a recession? I have been observing this industry for only 10 years, and have been wondering at what point would boating become too expensive for the average person.
The high cost of renting a slip forced me out of boat ownership three years ago. The high fuel costs after huricane Katrina forced me out of occasional trips to the lake in a friend's boat; it is just TOO expensive. I will be doing my boating in a small sailboat. The wind is still free! Last edited by Steve Di.; 05-05-2007 at 05:21 PM. |

No Ethanol Gas
We received a newsletter from Melvin Village Marina a few weeks ago cautioning against purchasing gas with ethanol for your boat. This topic has been covered here before (and other publications), but the good news is that some marinas on the lake sell gas with no ethanol. In particular, MVM is one. So while gas at the marina is more expensive, it could end up being less expensive in the long-run than ethanol-gas purchased at a regular gas station.

Why So?
Why can we not use ethanol mixes in our boats? Is it ethanol's tendancy to suspend water?

Let us not forget that Exxon/Mobile has been posting profits in excess of $9,000,000,000 per quarter. That's right more than $9 billion every three months. I think it is absolutely criminal and our government is derelict of their duty to watch out for the consumers.
I think the problem is the greedy bastards (elected officials) are having their pockets lined by the oil companies so they let them rape us with high prices at will. It is a shame. |

...six pounds
A gallon of gasoline weighs about six pounds so a six gallon plastic, portable gas tank weighs about 38 pounds. A Meredith Village Savings rewards card will knock six cents off a gallon at the Mobil directly across Route 3 from the Meredith Town Docks, plus they have coffee, sandwiches, newspapers, and lots of hot water in the restroom, and oh yes, the free Laconia Daily Sun which is an excellent local source.
Am seeing lots of aluminum fishing boats in the 16 to 18' range like Lund, Spectrum, Lowe, Crestliner, & Princecraft sporting 50-90hp four-strokes, and very few Fountains, Formulas, and Bajas. Now, that cannot be due to the high price of gasoline, so it must just be due the cool temps. All the Baja guys must be busy waxing all that fiberglass in their heated garages, or something. Yesterday afternoon, saw big Lee Raymond, former 12 year ceo of Exxon-Mobil cruise past buoy three at 65mph being chased by the Marine Patrol. Big Lee was driving an 88' Fountain, all black & grey racer checked, and powered by four inboard-outboards. A very impressive motorboat! He got pulled over and probably hit with an 88 dollar speeding ticket. Here in NH, big money does not get you any political favors. |

Was that an 88 foot fountain or a 1988 fountain? If it was 88 feet, where do you dock it?

if you have and enjoy boating nothing is cheap,I travel for work and I have paid higher prices for gas.I certainly would prefer to pay less but will still use my boat and enjoy it but when leaving the dock be more destination concious than just driving

Good news about gas prices: more slips available
I guess I shouldn't complain about the high gas prices this year, though I know I will the first time I need to tank up. I filled up before launching to save what I could. Anyway, I found out pretty late that I wasn't getting my coveted boat slip and started to panic that I wouldn't be able to find another one. No problem. They're available everywhere! I spoke to a marina sales manager that I know who said slips are available all over the lake, some marinas don't even have a waiting list. This one marina was still selling new boats like crazy.
It's still a mystery how one marina can have another record year for boat sales with these gas prices. It's no surprise to me that there'd be more slips available. Perhaps the new boat buyers haven't figured out yet how much the gas is going to cost them for that 80 gallon tank and the ones that have been on the lake a number of years bailed out of their high priced boat slips to save money. Who knows. But at least I got a slip now, whew! I really didn't want to go back to trailering... truck sucks too much gas when towing. |

Fill it UP
Filled the tank on Sunday at Fay's - 45 Gal @$3.50 9/10. You do the math. Even with a 70 gallon tank and a 260 hp engine I cannot complain as my boat is not a gas hog comparatively speaking. Of course if you were to keep the throttle at or near wide open the gas just does dissapear.
According to Fay's they are having a good year selling new and used boats so the gas prices do not seem to be a problem. Just look at their web site and you do see a lot of the used inventory moving and new listings for used boats being added frequently. They, as I believe, are doing something very right.

Gas prices and the weather seem to have made the lake very quiet since before Memorial Day....my little four stroke runs off a six gal porta-plastic tank and a two-gal backup so's thats' about 8 x 3 = $24.00 for a half day of slowly cruising around at 15mph, up on plane, and looking to find those fun big waves from the cabin cruisers. Who says big waves are no fun....bring em on! Old slow and steady wins the race! Anyone know where I can get one of those old bumper stickers that says "I may be slow, but I'm ahead of you!"

FYI - Lakeport Landing $3.30 a gallon
Tanked up on Sunday at Lakeport since they're usually a bit lower than others.

Gas Prices
The "Y" sells 92 (or higher octane -- can't remember) which explains it's price relative to others.

19 mile 3.39
The Price at the pump this weekend at 19 mile was 3.39 for 89 octane. Also in talking to the girl at the pump she mentioned that the owner this year wants to try and keep the price low to attract the gas bussiness he has been loosing do to his high prices, in past years......

Gas In Glendale/Smith Cove
Gas at Fay's was $3.50/gal last I checked. Gas at Glendale Marine (dry rack) was $3.74 as of today.
Cheapest I've seen has been Lakeport Landing, but then, they've always been less expensive than anybody else over the last few years. Has Thurston's opened their gas dock yet? I went by there last week and it had no prices posted and didn't appear to be open. |

Mountain View was around 3.44 on Sunday. I have CRS so I might be a little off. It was at least a dime cheaper than Channel.
We all know Lakeport is consistently the best price, but I hardly ever go that far down Paugus. Is any marina consistently the second cheapest? |

It has been open every now and then throughout the weekend but no idea if they will be open steady. I beleive that they own the gas dock but they rent it out to someone else, they do not run the gas operations. that is my belief and understanding but I may be wrong. |

Gas Prices
Heading up This weekend, leaving Thursday night, need to gas up the boat to the top on Friday morning, can I get a quick recap of prices for the Pagus bay area and possibly Meredith area? Mainly Lakeport landing, Irwin or Channel or Thurston's.
thank you |
