View Full Version : new boat blue oyster 09-01-2005, 03:49 PM i picked up my new boat last week an 18 foot parker , traded in my 17 sea pro , the parker has a much larger live bait well , no casting platform for more practical use and a 4 stroke motor and it rides sweet the only problem now other than finding time to use it is it has a 60 gallon fuel tank , don't even want to think about filling it . broke it in last weekend with some boo fish but realy want to try to get a sbft :D Homerun04 09-01-2005, 03:56 PM Congrats....my 19' Whaler carries 75 gals.....it really hurts.......trust me.. Clammer 09-01-2005, 04:01 PM 84 gals in mine so its the tin rig that won,t use 6 gallon,s in a month :exp: Sweetwater 09-01-2005, 04:12 PM My 19' CC has a 65 gallon tank...and right now has about 60 gallons of $1.75 gas :) Roger 09-01-2005, 05:39 PM Congrats on the new ride. I'm planning to mess with the SBFT again this weekend as well. PM me if you need some info. thefishingfreak 09-01-2005, 06:08 PM good luck with it. looks like i sold my gas pig grady in the nick of time :rotf3: MTC 09-01-2005, 06:28 PM Mine is 160 but I try to keep it at 100 or less. The extra 60 is around 400 lbs... At 8 GPH at 26kts it gives me good range. When the gauge reads E I still have around 50 gallons... MakoMike 09-02-2005, 09:02 AM Congrats on the new ride. If it make you feel any better mine holds 300 gallons (of diesel). Westport Jeff 09-02-2005, 09:23 AM I have the same setup. Bought it new this spring. Very stable boat. I have had it in some snotty water and the boat took it well. I have run it over to the Elizabeth Islands on good days. It is reasonably economical. The boat will move right along. I put a Garmin chartplotter/fishfinder on it and it makes for a nice setup. Enjoy. capecodder 09-02-2005, 10:11 AM Congrats. My 18' Grady also holds 60 gallons. Goes along way even with a 2 stroke SWS Yam on the back. I'm guessing you have a four stroke so you'll be fueling up less than me!! Van 09-02-2005, 07:24 PM CONGRATS on the boat. 4.10 per gallon at DYC !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: ScottM 09-03-2005, 05:01 PM i picked up my new boat last week an 18 foot parker , Did you happen to buy Jeff's boat? Mr. Sandman 09-03-2005, 07:01 PM If these fuel costs hold look for the powerboat industry to run aground...hard. There should be some good deals on larger boats though as there will be a load of them for sale.
