Reader Martin Soldat was surprised to see this hot boat gassing up at a local station. Note that the careful owners took their shoes off to respect that stunning gelcoat!

Martin didn’t notice whether they purchased any windshield washer fluid.

Seen any boats at any gas stations near you?  Or any other great boating photos – kids, pets, sunsets?  Send them along to our Photo of the Week at cyonboard@kerrwil.com  and put POTW in the subject line.
