$200.00-$300.00 depending on where we go. Another reason I love this boat, run 50-55mph all weekend and rip it a few time to teach someone a lesson and the tank lasts a good while.

1/2 a tank or 50 gallons is my estimate, so thats a little over $200.

I used to tell folks who asked how much it cost for a weekend that it was about the same as two rounds of golf at one of the nicer courses in the area.

Not anymore...even for a day...

My boat takes 280 gal. to fill up and hopefully that will be enough.
We sit idle for about half the year so when summer is here, burn it up every weekend.

I fill up on land every chance I get.

$500.00 got me 130 gallons at $3.88/gal. I might be 3/4 full....

One day later the price jumped to $3.92/gal.

Right now, $500.00 is my budget for the month.
