My sister was going to make me a shirt the says "The boat does not run on thanks." Then had acceptable payments that go with Cash.

My thought is I expect to pickup the gas. People have a higher likelyhood of going out again if they offer gas money. It is really just the offer that makes the difference. I have had people that do alot of wakeboarding or surfing or tubing then as soon as we hit the boat ramp they take off and just say thanks for the day but we are now busy and have to be somewhere. Not even an offer. $10-$20 for a day on the water is well worth it in my mind.
