Actually, don't know mileage as I just got the project with no motor so I'm debating what i'm going to power with. General consensus seems to be 150 will power nicely. I don't want to overpower and cut my fuel even thinner.
I like to go offshore fishing which may be quite a bit of trolling or running around looking for the fish.

150hp does a great job. I have a spare 20 gallon tank I thought about making it an above deck removeable unit. I don't think there would be room in the belly of my boat for an additional tank. If you have the boat apart and see room for a tank I say go ahead and drop one in.
With a 4 stroke I doubt you'd need additional fuel. The more I think about it I seem to remember we still had 12 gallons in the tank that day...."48 gallons" is what I'm seeing in my head when trying to recollect how much we put back at the end of the day...still too close for my comforts! Best of luck

You figure at worst case 2mpg, 60gal will be 120 miles. Also, like reel said (think it was him) 1/3 there, 1/3 back and 1/3 for whatever problems might arise.

If you look at Reelapeelin's boat he put in two 40 gallon tanks, one under each above deck seat box/pedestal for 80 gallons total...I'm sure he'll chime in shortly.
