Special fees to have fuel at water edge and on piers. DNR impose stiff fees fuel dispencing permits. Drives the cost of fuel higher than automotive.
Plus the the sometimes special handling requirements.
And the gouging.
Powerboats (stinkboats) suck up the fuel. They measure effieciency in gallons per mile!!
For me...sailing. If the wind is blowing it is possible to sail right into a slip, certainly easy to sail up to a mooring.
I filled up my six gallon tank once later year. Cost me $6 to top it off. I used 3/4 of a tank last year. This year it cost $9 to top it off.
