Considering the economy and the SL rules, I will be boating more this year during the day, but less at night.
I'm retired and lucky to be on a fixed (non-government
) pension. Since gas prices will be a lot lower this year than they were last year, I'll most likely boat 20% to 30% more overall.
As far as night time boating, I will take short trips in displacement mode, but I can't get on plane under 25 MPH without a big wake due to transition, even with tabs down, so long distance night time trips are now effectively banded for me.
If gas spikes upward, my boating will spike downward.
