I have an '07 150hp Yamaha 4-stk. My full load is around 3,000lbs. Thats 4 heads, Ice, tackle BUT excluding the 400lbs of fish I bring home  .
At typically seas(2-3') and cruise(28-32mph) Im getting between 3.2-3.6MPG. That puts my range in at 180-201mi.
Now same conditions with light load Im in around 212-230mi.....
-BUT-
My buddy had a 175 4-stk Suzuki on a 21' Pioneer CC. We would make 170mi on 45g's......pretty impressive  . Although our soakin wet clothes added a few more lbs to the load......
