South Jersey marinas fuel Prices & docking

[CarFord]

Boss man asked me to get online and find out how the gas pricing is up in Cape May, who is making big money off fuel and who is being reasonable.

Also we got word that bottoming out is a issue at some places this year. So we are looking for suggestion on places to dock this year for the Ma500.

Thank you:

When I filled the boat up yesterday at South Jersey Marina im pretty sure it was $4.79 a gallon. From what I hear Cape May Marine and Utches are 25-30 cents cheaper. Water is an issue in Canyon Club this year. What kind of boat are you running?

Whitey's comments are spot on. Harborview was $4.49 yesterday. A lot of places price to the tanks they buy. My general feeling is that as long as they stay competitive over time, I stay with them through the ups/downs.

As far as the places that always charge a premium +, it's got to be turning into big profits but eventually it'll hurt them, us and the industry.

first of all, i believe cape may marine is the cheapest in cape may. but then again, so is billy. [couldnt resist billy, after all, when did you last buy me lunch?] anyway, while in pirates cove fuel was $4.38. now thats a lot more than last year but, i got the feeling the marina was doing everything it could to keep prices at a minimum. after all, eventually it becomes a bigger issue. we rented two townhouses, at 2700 dollars also. we spent an average of 500 bucks a guy not counting gas. alright, we got a lot of vodka. and i still couldnt get johnny kitchen to understand what clear ice means to a drink. that stuff in the refrig, i threw in his face. in jest of course. but my point is this, eventually the marinas will make the extra ten cents a gallon like canyon club does, but no one will spend "other money" i dont think weber cares, but the other marinas do. what the heck, i'll charge all the rent i can for my houses. until the smile is off their face, then i know......cool it, look at the big picture. its more important to give a little than take the last cent on a gallon of gas, only to have them sit on it at the dock. for all the really rich guys that say if you can afford the boat you can afford the fuel, i have this. how much of your money are you willing to burn? just a thought. personally, i think pirates cove bent over backwards to make it still fun, at $4.38. and its a lot cheaper to keep the boat there than bring it back to cape may. i hate to say it but, divided up it wasnt that bad.

CarFord, I'd love to point you in the right direction but first gotta ask a couple of questions . . .

Are you burning gas or diesel??? Also, make and size of boat so I can figure best scenario for transient slip.

In the meantime, feel free to give us a call if there is anything we can help you w/during your stay in Cape May.

that will be the first gas boat to fish in the mid- atlantic.

Last time I checked outboards took gas and a few of them fish the Mid Atlantic.

Sorry Alex, hate to argue w/you (you still crack me up) but there have been a few center consoles that have fished and backed down to the scales as well @ the MA500. It's definitely on the "fewer" side though.

BTW, we need to get an SFC gathering to LaPiazza. That would be a riot!
