Depends on the day or weekend. I like cruising mostly with the occasional tie up. I don't sit in 1 spot for more than a couple hours, I just enjoy driving my boat. With current prices it could be anywhere from $30 a day to $500 a weekend, especially if we are staying over night on the boat and need to buy gas on the water. I see too many people that spend every dollar they had on a twin engine boat and literally go 5 miles from the launch because they can't afford the gas, that's why I own a single. I usually laugh at these people as I'm passing them!

Full tanks is the worse I have done in a Fri-Sunday stint.

Filled up on Friday and just about towed to the dock on Sunday it was so low. That was in the Sonic

Just got back from the Toy Run boated 100 miles in 2 days. Got passed by every boat there. Spent 62.50 in gas. Drank for three days spent 100 in beer and liqueur. Met some awesome people. Had a blast. That is what boating is about.

I burn 100 gallons a day pretty regularly. Doesn't take long with the throttle pinned to the dash trying to get in before dark.

I don't like to fill the tank unless I am doing a poker run but like to keep it around a 1/2 a tank. So I thow about 100 at it a day so about 200 to 300 a weekend on average but the the most in a day was 500

I have put $1000.00 in Black Thunder of hi test when on the water on several occasions. It would get about 2/3 to 3/4 of a 280 gallon tank. I don't have it any more. My 23 Concept with 225 Optimax maybe $300.00 a year.
