Dear Rattlesnake Guy. Please keep you're [ Miles Per Gallon Recipes In There Proper Place, As In The Glove Box Of The Tow Vehicle ]...
When out in and or about in a Boat, fuel consumption takes on a whole 'nother aspect... I am not here to pick on you!... However, we all have a certain responsibility to guide folks in a direction appropriate to this very beloved Lake.
Wave action can and will exceed shoreline elevations... And this is the why and therefore 'Gallons Per Hour' has always been the rule of thumb in any marine environment.
The waves or up hills out in the broads can and have surprised me, and when you get to coast down the other side of the aforementioned, It is truly a thrill.
All us LakeGeezers rode 'um and surved'um to carry on the Great Spirit here that reaches way back into history.
I'm no Einstein, however I will admit to learning from, and being here to pass on what I have.
