With fuel price so high I found something that should help.

You can be the first one to try hitting 88 mph in a sedan bridge and let us know how it goes

I am curiously waiting to see which state will be first to tax the degree of “wind deflection” caused by sailboats which encourage sailing vessels to keep the sails at a lower angle thus conserving more wind energy for the wind mills and generating tax revenue for the loss of fuel tax.

We grabbed a little jet boat for exploring. Can run 80 miles of river @ 16-20 knts with 30 liters. Just have to make some adjustments if the fuel budget is limited. Cheers!

I think that’s an outboard not a jet but looks like heaven out there.

An outboard jet?

El Capitan, Outboards with jet pumps instead of props is better for shallow water.

Looks like a good choice for those waters Thornton.

We love our little seadoo jet boat. We can run 8 hours on 22 gallons and the waverunner.

It's a factory Merc jet with a UHM intake installed for taking hard impacts. The boat also has a tunnel so it can run in an honest 3" of water.

I thought Bidens calls for a 3-month gas tax suspension was the solution?

Is that your Sunfish? I had one of those many, many years ago. I spent hundreds of hours on it every summer. Loved that boat.

No, but when I was young my cousin gave me hers when she got married, which was similar, but yellow. When I got in trouble with the 4hp Merc. (10 mph lake), the Sunfish was all I had for the rest of the weekend at the lake.

We had a green and white Sunfish - learned to sail on it - loved that little boat.

I have owned two Sunfish sailboats. Great fun.
