So, at a capacity of 2,105 gallons, @2.70/gallon, and assuming 20 hours of run-time fun each week from April to October, you only have to put in $5,683 worth of gas once per year!

The only problem is that this boat is built in Zhuhai, China, and I'm not sure I want my money to go to the Chinese like this.
