The price of gas verses swimming pool.

[HCS]

At the beginning of the summer I was going to join the local swim club so I could have a place to swim all summer. After checkin it out, come to find it was going to cost 380 bucks for the summer. In that retrospect I decided that 380 bucks would put gas in my boat for the whole summer. So the decision was to go boating all summer and hell with the pool. I'll pay a little more for the fuel.
That's my gas thread.

I approve

Now it will put gas in your boat for the "whole day"!

In my little boat 380 bucks goes along ways. Of course if gas hits 7 bucks a gallon or something like that. Then I'll be crying. :cry:

$380 for the whole summer??? I'm spending 2-400 a week....depending if we go 2 or three times. AND that was BEFORE this lame price increase.

I have a 350 Chevy with one Carter carb. I can run all day on a tank of gas.
Specially since I don't wakeboard. I don't run all day long like the boarders. Plus we like to hang on the beach.
Here we are. Hangin. :wink:

It's the Sacramento river north of Sacramento. I can get water like that all day long in my secret spot.
Love it up there.
Same place these pics came from.

Ya it's nice as it gets. If you want to get away from people you can do it.
Main reason is there's no launch ramps or gas pumps for miles. So most people only go so far up. I gas all the way up and out distance all the crowds.
It's dream water.
