Well Rubberduck it depends what you mean by "relatively well off boat owners". I read a survey the other day that put 77% motor boat owners in the over 55 category. Now it's most unlikely that any of these individuals are still in full employment - some may well be - but the vast majority will be pensioners of either the company, state, maybe both and others just scraping along just keeping things together and enjoying their boats. And then along comes a HUGE and unbudgeted increase in diesel costs! Are they the "relatively well off boat owners" you are referring to Mr Rubberduck?
