I don't think there is a single business that does not rely on oil in one shape or form. Goods are delivered by Tractor Trailers, ships,...
Also, if you want to blame anyone for the higher fuel prices, then you need to blame the current administration for their "quantitative easing"...
Nationalize them? Do you think you're Hugo Chavez? Since he Nationalized the oil companies the production has dropped to about 20-30% of what it...
At $50k you can find a diesel boat in this market that's strong and reliable. It might need cosmetics, maintanence and stuff, but I've seen...
I'd recommend avoiding the Channel 5 route completely. It has gotten pretty shallow, and cutting through just south of Marathon (Vaca Key) at the...

The other one as in quality as well. I had a very reputable painter spray the hull of a 58' Searay, everytime it grapefruit peeled it was so...
Yeah but they won't even cruise at their normal "unheeled" hull speed. For example the one I ran the other day did 5.2-5.5 knots at cruise but...
