I had to post this, last week I did a tuna trip launched at PJ, went out past the Acid Barge out to the Mud Hole, then back to the Acid Barge. I topped the tank off prior to leaving and then again when I returned. 30mph cruise out and back and 7-mph fast trolling. All in all I racked up 84 miles according to my GPS, I burned 15.2 gallons of fuel, thus averaging nearly 5.52 mile per gallon. Not bad for a boat
