Short story dont come down the Sassafras if you need gas their nuts......out of their minds...... :confused1

 

[PJDiesel]

No doubt. Yet another reason on the list of many why I will NEVER own a boat that sits in the water. I just simply refuse to pay the on-water prices, no way no how.

Odd part is, fuel on land is within a few pennies all the way from Perryville/Port Deposit, to Elkton, Chesapeake City and right in Cecilton. I wonder why it is that those Sassafras Marinas are charging so much.......?

 

[jrapp]

Probally because they have the bigger boats in there. It has been a while since I have been down there but the last I remember.....there were alot of big cruisers on the Sassafras.

 

[PJDiesel]

And.....?

They should LOWER the price when most of the patrons have 250+ gallon tanks!

 

[Gladhe8er]

Wow, those prices are cheap! We are paying $4.29 in Stratford and $4.42 in Wilton ON LAND for 87 octane here in Connecticut. I havent even looked at the water prices. They are certainly over $5 though.

Just got off the phone with Baltimore Yacht Club on Middle River at Sue Creek, $4.599, 89 octane.

Show them your Boats US card and get 10 cents off that. They pump Citgo branded gas and have the Citgo logo signage. Use your Citgo charge card and get a 3% rebate.

Final price is $4.364 using both cards.

 

[Rattlesnake Jake]

40 gallons at Skip Jack Cove = $200.00

It's 4.75 for 89 @ our marina.

 

[SINGLE SCREW 32]

Yes its tough owning a boat. I was thinking about putting mine in a high and dry this year instead of a new trailer and after going over all the ins and outs of service and gas i could'nt afford the boat .LOL so i bought a new trailer.plus i get a great discount from my local mechanic :winker:

 

[Black Wishbone]

Gladhe8er do you know what knapps Landing last staion on the housatonic is they were 4:15 before M-Day and are usually the cheapest around. and it's 93. at the time it was cheap than the land prices.

 

[Gladhe8er]

Not sure about Knapps landing. Honestly I havent even looked at the prices on the water because I fill up on the trailer. I am having all sorts of trouble getting my trailer registered so I cant use the Birdseye launch ramp...I have to trailer to Norwalk where you dont need trailer reg to launch. I have been boating in the Fairfield-Stamford area. I think i may be good to go in Stratford this week though.

 

[jrapp]

PJ...I agree! But I do not think that they see it that way.

 

[Black Wishbone]

Gladhe8er you have to possibility of saving almost $50 launching in Stratford between the truck gas and the long long ride out of Norwalk. I boated out of Fairfield all my life until last year. Now with a bigger boat I get to go places and use more gas. :dead:

 

[creeper]

PJ...I agree! But I do not think that they see it that way.

They will soon....Talked to a freind of mine today(He's in skip jack) Say's their fuel dock is dead,Nobody is even pumping out......

By the way got gas at Harve de Grace on sat.....That price is for 93 oct......$4.15 cash..per you cant beat that..

I would probably spend more money in gas launching out of Stratford because I end up at Cockonoe Island in Westport pretty much every Saturday and Sunday. I am looking forward to exploring the river in Stratford though. I am friends with one of the watercop's and he is going to show me around once I get that launch pass. I hear there are some areas you have to watch out for the farther up you go.
