Yes and No.

Last year with the single Merc 350 I was aware but the prices didn't really effect what I did. This year with the new boat and twin 5.0 Volvos I don't think I'll take less trips, but I'll be far more carefull of exactly how far down I push the throttles. Filled up the new boat for the first time last Saturday $500.

For those of you who are concerned, check out http://www.boattest.com, in their reviews they usually give performance data which shows the most efficient RPM's to run each boat in.

while I have gone out just as much as before, I have made trips shorter and started asking people to chip in for gas if they ask me to take them out fishing. I'm not totally cheap though, if I make the invite, I expect nothing. If the trip isn't much of a trip, I refuse anything except some help cleaning up afterwards. For the family cruising, I will spend about anything for an enjoyable trip, my kids soon enough won't want to make trips with the old man anymore, so I'll enjoy their smiles and laughs while I can.
