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...

Congrats on the new ride. If it make you feel any better mine holds 300 gallons (of diesel).

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.

Fishing from an 18' Parker called "Moor-Sea"

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!!
