GLF Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I would like to know how many gallons of fuel/gas everyone went through in their boat last year. Please include the size of the boat and how big the motor(s) are. Also include the number of times the boat was used if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjusted3 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I never paid much attention to the gas. I get about 3 1/2 8 hr trips on one tank. This is with a 17' Lund and a 140 4 stroke. But, gas is the cheap part of the fishing. Filling the boat with gear and the boat itself is where the costs come in.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFly Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 20.5" Thompson/ 170 hp mercruiser/ 60 gal tank. Seemed to go through right around a quarter tank per trip depending on the runs and trolling time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
