So how do I get a Yamaha boat with a salt injector for my lake water?

Just image the folks that live along the coast, they could boat forever without having to stop to fill up.
 
How much?
 
YES PLEASE!

Roughly 5 gallons per hour (guesstimate of an average consumption) over 300 hours on my boat at roughly 3.75 per gallon (I buy ethanol free but not on the water so it's not crazy priced) = 5,625.00 in gas. So if you consider my boat half way through it's life, it better cost a lot less than 10 grand to implement this on a new boat. (i'm guessing not)
 
How much?

I imagine it will be priced somewhere between ridiculous and ludicrous until they achieve scale. If it works I would expect the military and shipping industries to pick up on it and drive the costs down. The military supply chain implications could be huge.
