Whats a day of boating cost you?
What on average does it cost to run a a boat 24-30ft with a single Io on Lake st. Clair.
Looking for ball park guys, run from detroit river to Strawbarry, Or run from Metro up the St. Clair rever? Just a nice day of enjoying boating kind of fuel cost.... |
Just gas? I had a single 454. I am guessing 70-125 at todays prices if you run at a decent clip but not pegged. I do those routes all the time and with my twin it's about 125-150 if I cruise.

Just gas for boat, ball park $100.00

I think I calculated at one point $50 an hour of running, but gas was much lower then. I'd estimate closer to $75 now but I really try not to pay attention!:lolhit:

it doesnt matter when it comes right down to it sure beats the hell out of being at work or any place dry

I have a single 454 and average about 50-100 a trip depending on how hard I go. I usually shoot from Selfridge to Gull and back. I do some nice long trips too yesterday I did Selfridge to Gull, up the middle channel, down the North Channel, over to smoke on the water, then bayside and tryst and finally back to Selfridge. Grand total was $120 or so in fuel, I was cruising most of the time, and wasnt wide open too much. Throw in food and drinks and easily was a $250 dollar day after 11 hours.
Update- So far this season Ive been out since late March. My fuel total is just shy of $500, Ive burnt about 125 gallons of fuel, in approx 15 hours of run time. Its been a blast but this new boat is so much more expensive than the last ;) Did I mention is som much more....LOUD!!! Too lol |
