As for boating, I'm looking into a kayak this spring. It still means gas to haul it around, but that's one thing I'll concede.

But hopefully you can look at it this way Tim. That's gas that you would use to travel to your fishing spots anyways. I know from your posts here that you like to fish Duxbury a lot. Perfect for kayaking. I hit there a lot with mine last year.

That's what I was getting at (in a 'round about way).
The gas I use will be getting me to the fishing spot, not puttering around looking for fish, although it's only a problem if you don't catch anything.

Imagine rigging a boat, say a Carolina Skiff, with the same pedal system they use for the swan boats in Boston?
They only serious issues would be riding in rough water, and who has to pedal. I'd say bring a friend along, and instead of asking for gas money, tell him/her that they will supply the "fuel" for the trip.
It would promote better health and reduce speeding overall.
