9 Gal X $4.00 per gal = $36.00 this year.

Difference $9.00 Not bad considering. If I throttle back to say 3500 RPMs rather than 4200 I bet I can save a 1/2 gallon a trip.
18 foot boats with a 4-stroke are the way to go.

My buddy has an 18 Parker with a 115 4-stroke Yamaha that I often fish on and it returns only slightly worse numbers.
