How much more will nonethanol be per gall????? Party Boats all have diesel engines and diesel is at least $1 a gallon more than gas ! So when your favorite PB fare goes up take this into consideration.

The guys that are regulars and regularly support certain captains and boats will still be there, and pay the price increases.. Its only my uneducated position, but there may be a problem getting occasional, vacationing , first time type anglers aboard... The capts will do their best of course, but they can only eat so much of the fuel price increases... Hoping for the best, but right now its not looking good for anyone- Neither the owners/captains or the guys that want to fish with them.... bob
