$1000.00 worth of gas
 
You ask how many people we know that quit boating.
A question that goes with that one is, how long does it take you to burn a $1000.00 worth of gas or diesel or jet fuel?
This should be interesting for some of the monster engined boats.

in the Donzi (525 SC's) its a G to fill it and thats pretty much gone in a weekend. . . . . . . ouch . . . . .

tomtbone1993 07-18-2008 12:22 AM

1.5 days

Over the 4th we took the boat out twice (started out full) for a few hours each day,cost 250 to fill it at 435$ a gallon to get ready for this weekend BUT we had my nieces and family in the boat so we kept it out of boost,at that rate it would last me 3-4 weekends of boating,with some full throttle runs more like 2 or 3,Smitty
The 100$ to fill the truck each weekend would help burn it up alot quicker though at 488$ a gallon

Cost $400 to fill it, usually last 2-3 weekends depending on how far we go. Usually about 50 miles a weekend and itll last 3 weekends doing that. unless its a poker run weekend then itll usually only last for one weekend.

easy...1 longer type poker run..320 gallons of 93 :mad:

I'm in the same boat (no pun intended) with Jass. One poker run:eek:

One tank runs me just over $800 and if were running it'll last the weekend. If just cruising out to the islands, then 2-3 weekends.

60 gallons per hour @ $4.50 per gallon


3 hours and 45 minutes:ernaehrung004:


.....and that's at cruise:rolleyes:

There is a way around it. We've been taking shorter boat rides and just staying closer to home. For me....it's about being on the water!!!:ernaehrung004:
