Default Re: How far will you go???

Boater, the ''rule of thumb'' has always been: of your available fuel, use 1/3 to get there, 1/3 to get home and leave 1/3 for reserve...using that, you have 20 to get there, 20 to get home and 20 in reserve....you'll have to determine your burn-rate at whatever cruise speed is right for your boat...for that you'll need a fuel-flow meter or fill it up, go cruise around for an hour (constant running), then fill it up to see what you've burned off...the meter is more specific, but the cruise and fill will give you a pretty good idea... ;) :D...
