Gas prices

Per barrel more gas is made than diesel.
Diesel comes off the refining process early = costs less to make.
Guys that do the bio diesel thing can refine their "home brew" in the kitchen in a blender then step it up to say 10 gallons a day for way under 2 bucks a gal.

i think you should tell us all this whole blog has gotten so out of control anyway . between glass seeker trying to make people look stupid with their spelling and john b trying to show us all how smart he is and even the republican side of this spouting comments that seem like parting shots from both sides. I am as i have said before a republican but cant everyone here try playing a role like joe in NY ? he is and has to be the most rational and fact driven democrat i have ever heard... by the way changing quotes?? on both sides??? be ashamed

John B,

Read it this way: "You Dig?.....Boy!".

Why actually exchange ideas when you can just do this?

Thanks, I get it, finally.

You guys should go spend some time waxing the bottom of your hulls.
No wonder my phone keeps blowing up.

Peter and Mike are rite... I jist unsubcsribed frum this hear thred.....

You're just attacking the messenger, it's the bad spelling that makes them look stupid. I'm not trying to make anyone look stupid for their spelling but when they are telling me something and they misspell basic words in English well it's a little difficult to take them seriously about those ideas. I'm sorry if that makes them look stupid. Maybe they should learn to spell.

Seriously, this thread started with Ski/Lee is saying that the "Obama idiots" The Government charge a "huge export tax" thus forcing the oil companies into not sending our oil overseas because we have a shortage here and that's why prices are high.

          SERIOUSLY? He claims to be interested in education but he sure does not want to learn anything.

And apparently this means your really really angry

Skicat, I agree with you about responsible gun ownership. I believe you can also understand why some people are frustrated with the prevalence of guns due to the number of deaths and injuries criminals cause with them. Chicago has always had a debate about gun ownership and outlawed handguns years ago. I don't see that it has helped any. It looks like their law is unconstitutional due to the recent Supreme Court decisions. They have yet to have any cases decided in court on the law to the best of my knowledge, but I could be wrong.
This is why people are frustrated, this is one weekend.

Andy, that Barefoot Nautique sure is purtee! Did you trade it for the Sanger?

Steve, there has been a few other boats before and in between the BFN and the current Sanger.

John, most of the BFN's had pcm bigblock chevy 454's. It was not a ski boat, the wake was sharp and high but flat across the middle, it would launch a skier on a ski or a kneeboarder straight up in the air. I am surprised that it is not more coveted by the wakeboarders.

All of my boats have loved gas. Just out of view in the BFN are 3 extra 5 gallon gas cans.

Both are really nice looking boats. Do you find the 383 has a lot more power than the original engine in that Sanger, was it a 350 GM?

That performance sounds similar to a HO PCM 351w powered Ski Nautique (285-310hp). I would have expected quite a bit more out of a 383 stroker (350-400hp?) in a Sanger DX. More power and a faster hull... I would have guessed low to mid 50's easily. Id say something isnt quite right.
