It hasn't put the kabosh on my boat shopping but I haven't been able to hit the long-distance races or any for that matter the past few years. Gas prices have hurt not only a lot of district races but the larger events.
One of the LHS's has cut back on help as a big part of their business has been from Internet sales, both eBay and directly from them.
Now the gas is only $1.67 in a lot of places in Mich...to bad the water turns hard like ice in November[&:]
