Fuel Costs?
Not only is the southeast experiencing the worst drought on record, but gas prices have become utterly ridiculous..
Most towing vehicles - SUVs and trucks - get about 12-15 mpg while pulling a bass boat or bay boat to and from the lake. It can cost $15 - $35 just to get there.
- BUT -
once you're there, bass boats and bay boats get no more than 2-3 miles per gallon of gas - making it cost-prohibitive to travel any great distance on the water. Based on current fuel prices these boats average about $2.00 PER MILE TRAVELED.
Unless you're independently wealthy - and few of us are - you've probably considered taking out a 2nd mortgage, raiding the kids' college fund, or cashing in your IRA just so you can go fishing.
Is there any good news?
You betcha!
RIVER HAWK boats
get
GREAT GAS MILEAGE!
Even our largest boats:
B-60 Pro Castersand
B-60 Kingfish Editions
get 15 mpg
- or better -
running wide open throttle on
15 HP - 20 HP outboard motors.
That's at least
45 - 50 miles
on a single 3 gallon tank!
When was the last time you were able to run from one end of Lake Lanier to the other - and back - for $12 in gas?
We're seeing a lot of existing boat owners selling their bigger boats or adding a smaller River Hawk boat so they can afford to fish - and in the process discovering, or rediscovering the joys of small boat fishing. After all, fishing isn't just a pastime, it's a necessity for many of us.
