The high gas prices are not just affecting drivers on the road but also those on the water.

It seems some boaters may be staying at the dock this summer to save money.

At the gas dock at Presque Isle Marina, gas is a bit more expensive than on land. Mid-grade gas costs more than $6.70 per gallon.

Melissa Kelly leases the gas dock and says she has already seeing boaters habits changing. They are either taking short trips or not going out at all.

"I think it's going to be a very short summer if that's the case," said Kelly. "Even with the bay, you would see people coming out and anchoring in here, and you don't see that as much. I think they're going to find different alternatives to something where you have to use gas."

Charter boat companies are also struggling with the record high prices.

Most told Erie News Now they have added a $50 fuel surcharge to all trips out on Lake Erie.
