absolutely gay! this better not be true, I put down the deposit and my invoice didn't show anything of a tax of anykind other then GST. mind you I haven't paid for it yet or received it, they better not try hit me with that when it comes time to pay for it in full and pick it up.
if true, any word of what they are expecting it to be? a flat rate or a %??

Say it aint so , i have yet to fill it from empty. I get a 100$ and say STOP

I never let mine get down too far... usually $100 at a time as well, my tank is 210L so at marina prices it would be $252...

But I float lots, I think I spent $300 on fuel all last summer...

$300 all year? I spend at least that much at each tournament.

My boat is used as more of a cottage than a boat... when I go I usually only cruise @ 18-20 mph and only once in a while do I open her up for short rips.

1/4 tank and she gets fed. im with you floating and letting the kids play is where it is at for me. The rare knee ride for me and tubes for the kids. When they get older i will trade boat but for now the mobile yacht is a good thing
