[QUOTE="painlesstom, post: 292955, member: 10361"] I've got a 9 gallon tank, and the motor I'm using is rated at 5.5 gph at WOT @ 40 mph in the ski (7.2 mpg). I doubt I'd ever take a trip that totaled more than 40 miles. I'm hoping that I can get 10 mpg at a planing speed of 25 mph. That's my goal anyhow, hope it's close to reality. I have a Humminbird 385ci, so GPS is covered. The 1/3rd rule is good common sense, I don't like to paddle either. Also one of the reasons I mounted the fuel tank where I did, so I can see it. I've even thought about finding a small, air cooled, 2-3 hp outboard as a backup motor in case something mechanical got me stranded. [/QUOTE]
