An older motor like the '78 is gonna pull down some gas at a pretty good clip...not tryin' to be cruel, it's just a fact...I had an old Evinrude that would suck bugs and small birds into the fuel vents at WOT...so don't expect a whole lotta range w/the two saddle tanks...try to keep your RPMs down as much as possible and keep your load light and that's about the best you can do...one day a newer technology motor, but for now, just take 'er out and ENJOY!!...pics when you can...
 You should see about 40 at WOT w/a light load and w/out a top...tops are great, but they are a real drag on fuel economy and speed...

Just had a crazy thought, got a chance to get an old jetski, runs good but the hull is busted bad, wonder if that motor could be rigged where the bilge is as a backup motor/trolling motor, its just an old standup one person jetski, so wondering if that would push it, or what size outboard would make a good oh **** motor or to just use for trolling during striper season so i can conserve gas
