I was just wondering How big of a gas tank I should get for my 1436 with Yamaha 8hp. How big is your boat/gas tank?
 
12 gallon on a 1436 jon with a 25 hp mariner.
It helps balance the motor and for weight when breaking ice duck hunting.
 
Three gallons on a 14 foot Gregor and a 15hp Honda four stroke. It'll last us about four days but not continuous running.

Six gallons plus a separate 2.5 gallon spare can on my 15 foot fiberglass with a 40hp Mercury two stroke. This boat is used only for day trip in the harbor and just outside of the breakwater. Never came close to using up the six gallons though.
 
A 3 gallon for my 5hp/6hp. A 6 gallon for 15/25 and even on my 50. I always kept a 1gal spare for my 5/6 and a 5gal spare on the 15/25/50. Ran out of gas in the bay once. It was stupid.
 
I did have a 6 gallon tank on my 1648 25hp Johnson. I upgraded last summer to a 12 gallon tank. Now if I have a full tank I don't have to worry about how far I go.

12 gallons with A Little Snookered 20hp 4stroke nissan - 3 gallons on a 10' jon running a 7.5 merc - 110 gallons on 25' walk around Shamrock
 
1448 6 gal tank that is usually never full.

I get great gas mileage, trolling motor doesn't use much gas :)
 
6 gallon tank with my 9.9 w/15hp carb. Ran it all year last year and only filled up like 2 times.

Upgraded to a 25hp and will still continue to use a 6 gallon tank.


Dad's boat...150hp...dual 24 gallon tanks.
 
i usually use a 3 gallon or 6 gallon on my 2006 yamaha 15hp 4 stroke on my 2011 tracker topper 1542. I ran a tournament this past summer with the 3 gallon tank and ran out about 200 yards from the ramp. (thankfully i had 2 spare gallons). but that was w.o.t 95% of time. any day im just out fishing i use the 3 gallon.
 
i have no idea how far i went but it was a long ways. but atleast i only ran out 200 yds from the ramp... i almost made it! lets just say tournament+ my boat and motor= 6 gallon tank.hahahha
