How far can you go?
between fuel stops?
The question is pertaining to boats between 36 and 50 feet.
Can you go 300 miles between refills? At 80 to 90% of WOT?
If not, how far can you go and how many gallons does your boat hold?
There's a reason behind these questions.
Thanks for the help.

On my last run I got almost 1 mpg. 200 gall tank
The run in Tick Faw in 200 miles long.we usually get gas about 3/4 the way thru the run.
On my old Scarab 80 gall tank .it would get about 55 miles to a tank.You could see the gas gage hand move when you were in the boost We usually filled up twice on the Tick Faw 200 run

I went from Haulover Cut to South Key West and had a 1/2 tank left. Averaged about 75mph not counting idling through the mangroves, and ran wot quite a few times.
Top Gun T/S - 250 gal
It took 190gal when I fueled for the trip back.

I've gone 155 Miles GPS on the Cafe (they say 200 gallon capacity). That's as far as I wanted to go, and I was sweatin bullets at the end. Cruised at 3800rpm all day with a few busts I imagine the best I got was 1.1 MPG. 2000 twin 502 MAG mpi's #9400 Boat dry.
