mj,
i will be useing the boat on fresh water lakes 99% of the time, for me to use up 40 to 60 gallons would take a month, this way there is always fresh fuel. with the price of gas i don't think i'll be running wot to much. i'm only a mile from launch. and the area that i will be useing the boat most ( chain o lakes ) is only about 20 miles long. i hope that is enough...... ???mostly fishing and anchoring to party with friends. it's a site to see when there 6 to 10 boats tied together, we just hop from boat to boat. party party
