as far as you and I go, you really fueled my fire against Bob, Orlandi and others last year, I do not regret anything I did but you helped me push things further, in the end you pushed me to be buddy buddy with phil and then kiss his azz and others... lately you have also acted like King of offshore with the boat, there are many of us and us little "budget boaters" have the same goals as the big dog and that is BOATING. I have a serious passion for fun, at pretty much any cost, like I said in my other thread, most guys would have given up long ago then to keep going like I have.
Then you go and say something like "I run my boat harder then anyone here" justified how I feel. I run my boat extremely hard, every single time I run it, does that make me better then anyone else? nope.... as far as Boyne goes I just know all the heavy hitters turned around so they did not break boats and passenger worries, I get the passenger thing, but when you got race boats and huge drives go run them!! My buddy Rob ran his 36 Apache WITH BRAVOS the whole run until cancelled, his 5 passengers had no issue with it and wanted to go. I seriously think the "Budget boaters" have more fun then the big dogs..
I always thank for help, I do not always listen to advice depending on what it is and how that effects my builds and my wallet, I pay CASH as I go for this stuff, zero goes on credit so when I decide I cannot afford something that is not totally needed there is a reason, I can afford the hobby, clearly I keep going, but I don't need people telling me I don't appreciate the help.

[QUOTE=Black Baja;4506607]How many gallons of fuel do you guys that "run hard" burn in a weekend? We typically run 100
No disrespect intended, but I think there is what I would call a "Silent Majority" that can and do use that much fuel per weekend. I personally have two 120 gallon fuel tanks, (one per engine) and burn that per weekend, sometimes per day if we run around both bays, and then north for dinner. Do we run hard? depends on your definition. but cruise at 4700-5600RPM but if need be take it to 6200. I consider myself an average boater.

[QUOTE=abones;4506668]
No disrespect taken. I'm just curious how much fuel everyone is burning. I have two 80gallon fuel tanks and often have to stop and fill-up in the middle of the day. Isn't much fun I feel like we waiste so much time having to stop and put fuel in the boat. We normally cruise at 4,000rpm but when it's rough which most of the time it is we have to run 5,000+ or get beat to death.
