Hmmm, interesting idea. Perhaps a gas guzzler tax for those whose
boats fail too since boats are ussually luxury

Affordable electric boats will be a reality soon for simple inshore
boating use. Gas will be available, but taxed to keep it expensive.
Gas taxes will mostly subsidize electric.
Electric taxes will begin to subsidize road infrastructure,
Road tollway taxes will subsidize the tourist industry.
Tourist taxes will subsidize....
Uh oh.
