I think back to that day, when I get the itch to get a big performance boat.....affording the boat is one thing, affording the gas bill is another...
That's a great little tale on gassing up the performance boat ...... love the big, fast boat .... not so much love for the big, fast gasoline bill.

And, gasoline weighs 6-lbs/gal so a six gal, red plastic portable tank, weighs in at about 35-38-lbs. Docking the boat at the Meredith town docks and carrying the tank back and forth from that Meredith Mobil is somewhat(?) doable, plus they got a clean bathroom that always has great hot water and soap in the sink to help lose the gasoline smell from your hands. .....

A gallon of water weighs 8.4-lbs, in case you was wondering.
