I think the tank is 30 gallons, and I haven't filled it since the first time. Fished everyday on the big Chip, a few long runs, a couple days on Mille Lacs with reletivly short runs for that lake, and a few jaunts on the local hole, and I still have 1/4 tank left. I'd guess Dave's is probably close to the same, but you're pushing a lot deeper boat. I wish cars could have the same emmissions as boats, we'd all get 30mpg's. Last edited by tzone; 08/03/12.

I feel your pain my yammi 150 Vmax gets maybe 1.5 miles per gallon . Spent 10 dayes at Texoma this spring and used about 75 gallons "Papa ! Nana made turtles in the potty !"

So I refurbed a spare set of heads, tore them down, cleaned the castings, cleaned the valves. Hand lapped the valves with grease based valve compound, ordered new stem seals and springs, a gasket set... Yeah, anyways, it's back together and it runs really nice now. Something clever here.

If the kids want to see Devils Tower ot Mt Rushmore we'll come back through SD. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.

Once I made the trip, I wish I had long before. The Black Hills area can consume a person's time for many days. Do not feed the bear! White Bear sometimes treads on thin ice...
