Sluggish economy may be hurting boating season: "The traditional launch of the boating season in Michigan has seen a decline in boat registrations and fishing licenses in recent years.
The state's economy has been sluggish. And gas prices at some marinas are hovering around $3.50 a gallon, meaning a weekend of fun on the water will cost $200 or more on bigger boats that burn a gallon to cover two miles or less.
'This is not a winning economy for anybody,' Mark Mathes, co-owner of Emerald City Harbor in St. Clair Shores, told The Detroit News for a Saturday story."
