[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 379041, member: 1931"] So my 73, almost 74yo, dad borrowed my boat yesterday. He added 8 gallons of fuel to my 1/2 -3/4 full fuel tank and didn't add any oil. They ran it all day trolling. I'm sure they got on plane, but probably not much more. He then came home and added 10 gallons. He said it was smoking the whole time. Think I'm OK? What should I watch for in the future? I've been mixing 50:1, is this too much? He said it was embarrassing at the launch how much it smoked. I believe I have a 26 gallon tank, so there was still a fair amount of oil in it. What say y'all? [/QUOTE]
