What the problem here... Let me ask you this. Have you ever road a scooter? Fun right? But you don't want your friends to see you ridding them am I right? Soooooo could this mean that a fat chick could be fun even if your friends may make fun of you. You tell me... But at the end of the day I'm not running fat chicks or drugs I'm running 1500 lbs of fuel.... So sorry to say no video.... But have no fear this will be done

Have you considered taking everything else out of the boat first? Seats, cabin, radio? If you gut the cuddy, , porta potti, extra batteries, all your stereo equipment and take out your back seat that is probably 800 pounds right there. Put the bladder where your back seat "was".

That's why it nice being my age. Back then if things like this happened there was no cell phone's with camera's or videos...therefore.....if there was no videoproof and we happened to not remember, it means it never happened.

No proof, no memory recollection. Nope...nada....nothing .

That's how kids/young ones, and some adults screw themselves now. Evidence that never goes away.

Wow.

1.108973 to 1.220089 mpg was the answer before it imploded.

SB, You are one ignorant SoB, keep up the entertainment...

my boat holds 314 gallons of fuel, with full tanks and 1000+lbs of crap for 10 days in the Bahamas it gets 1.8mpg at 45mph, with 80 gallons it gets 2.2 at the same speed. I haven't pushed it wide open with the Bahamas load but I have done it with full fuel and the top end is 52-53 instead of 55-57, I don't think it will be as bad as you think.

When your boat is at 55-57 is that close to the same rpm that it goes in neutral?
