10-4, my Vessel View is way smarter than me BUT I will have you know I did win the Inaugral Fontana race on fuel w/ Jeff Gordon calculating fuel mileage w/ a scale, pad, pencil & $5 solar calculator
Nice work 370ss, hilarious!
PS- for those of you who didn't know Hendrick Motorsports built the cars for that movie & it's about Rick Hendrick the first owner to try to manage 2 drivers in 1 stable. Rowdy is a spin off Tim Richmond w/ the sickness etc.

Powerboat Mag used to get real world #'s with simple fuel flow meters and the GPS. Could easily be calculated early on with the Pad/Penil/calculator if you want to fill up 
How much fuel does it hold?? I guess you could run all off one tank and figure it out quicker

Decision Time
Most of you know me as NASCAT, a name a friend & local boating buddy suggested to me the 1st ride he took in my first Cat. Today I'm at a sort of crossroads w/ regard to naming my new boat & time is off the essence b/c it's basically complete & I want to USCG Document it which requires the name at time of documenting.
Attached are a few pics that should help you envision what I'm struggling with. Keep in mind my boats scheme is ALL black & white contrast, the only color being the red swoosh in the Nor-Tech logo on the rearward gunwales.
A few of you have suggested that I continue the NASCAT theme & name her NASTECH (as a play on Nor-Tech) or NASCON (as a play on a Ctr Console as opposed to a Cat but no art for that pictured here).
Keep in mind the NASCAR bar logo is a color spectrum like I did w/ the Skater. Personally I don't think that color spectrum goes with my boats black & white scheme AT ALL so I asked for the NASTECH art to be be gray scale or black & white which is attached.
My personal favorite is the Black Tie Affair, it means nothing to me personally, but IMHO the black & white logo w/ the Tuxedo seems to be fitting of my boats clean crisp sporty but classy look.
Last but not least NO ONE will ever even see the boats name unless the boats at the dock since the O/B's block the area that it will be placed (back side of rear bench seat)
Your input & or new ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I like the 3rd NASTECH and I also like the idea of adding red accent in there somewhere. The Black Tie affair makes it sound like you own a tuxedo rental company or something. But like you say nobody will really see it anyway.
