OUCH!!!!!!! THIS FISHIN GETS SPENSIVE

That is CHEAP!!!!
Thats what my truck holds then the same forthe boat. Its about 200.00 each time.
Well guys, like my kids told me "dad, in case no one has told you, you can't take it with you, but should you decide to leave it we will be glad to spend it for you."
Must be a Kia and a 9.9 4 stroke.

Tuesday I set the pump to fill the truck and walked to the store to get a diet coke. When I came out, the truck was full and like normal, I hit it another lick to top it off. That extra little bit was $2.12. Dang!

Yep, that would fill up the boat and 150 more in diesel for the truck.banghead
Yea I would like a bigger boat but I do like the fact that I can fish all day with $20 worth of gas!

I can too, just cause they will run 60 or more dont mean you gotta run em that hard. Mine does great if ya kepp it around 4000 rpms, runs around 40 mph at that and gets dang good fuel mileage at that for a 200 MercQuote:

I still haven't been able to calculate my mileage on the boat but best I can figure, it looks like it gets about 3 months to the gallon. I still haven't used enough fuel to of had to put any in it yet. Dunno, maybe it's just that fuel from OK last longer since its coming from closer to the source.
Pfffftt

Gator, the Merc was inheritted and is fixxen to be on its third hull. 1982 model originally owned by Vic, had an overhaul and has lower hours for its age. Sat in my shop for over 10 years, runs great, knock on wood.
3 months to gallon is good
Course 1 fish to the freezer in 3 months ain't so good
Well now you've made me feel bad.... Please accept my appalogy

Jimmy and I were dropping triple digits each time we filled my 1 ton dually up on the way down/back to the AR and MS camps earlier this month. AT $4.09/gal. avg. for diesel and 10-12 mpg, it was an expensive trip...but after meetin all you good folk...worth every penny!
My smartcraft guage says I am burning 8 gal an hour.
Same here Rees--ifn I hadn't got this one from my dad--I'd still just be bumn seats on boats. For sure my 150 will suck the gas like crazy at 5600 RPM but like you around 4000 I can get about 6 trips out of 28 gallons (not running all over the place though)
Glad you bit the bullet. Nice meeting you too.Quote:

Mine didnt burn hardly any at Enid or if I went to Choctaw on Grenada, only time I would fire up the big motor is when I was loading up.:biggrin
