Nothing to worry about.......:sifone:
 
Very nice boat. Just fill it up and don't worry about it. You will never talk about how much fuel you put in it but you will always talk about the good times had.

Hey MonkeySpunk... (sorry, that name is just, well...)
Now you're playing with the big boys, and you now have a REAL boat.
Congrats my friend. The fuel money is probably the cheapest part to play in this game. (that's why I've stuck to a single - twins can get thirsty).

Mark, glad to hear she is running good and No Worries.

You ought to split gas with Hotrod2 on his four engine Cary if you want to talk about thirsty......:eek:
 
It costs 280 bucks to fill up the 20' wellcraft !:eek:(it lasts a few days though:)) The 27' has a two 70 gallon tanks but I rarely put more than 80 gallons in......As Tim says....gas is the cheapest thing you'll ever put in your boat !:sifone:

Mark's a good friend of mine from back when I was living in Pittsburgh. Trust me, he can afford the fill-up, he just has a hard time unclenching his butt-cheeks to cough up the dough. A jewish-Italian guy...:rolleyes: Go figure...
 
Crap, the Lambo boat had a 200 gal tank and when running heavy waves (pumping the throttles) it would get 1/2 mile per gallon !!!! :ack2:

I would just say "fill er up" and not look at the Amex charge until after the fun !!! And that was back when gas was cheep !!!!!!!!
 
Dang, 1/2 Mile a Gal. Holy Cow. :eek:

:eek:If ya run that boat wide open 58-60 gallonns per hour :rolleyes: But unless your racing it's hard to run a whole hour WOT so $200 to blast around is cool!:cheers2:
 
32 GAS

I have one also and have a bad gas gauge found out when the yellow light lights i need to get gas but it only taked about 60 gallons and gushes out the fill. This weekend we did our first poker of the season so i filled it up again when we arrived at our destinstion 60 miles down the coast only took 4 gallons and gushed out. The gas attendent put the nozel on slow and it took another 85 gallons so i guess I have been riding around with only half a tank thinking it was full. I here these fountians have strange gas tanks.

There is a thread maybe over on OSO I read a while back about putting gas in a Fountain. About the same thing you explained. Have to fill slow.
 
SLOW FILL

That is what i thought was going on if I rush it it blows out the fill and the vent happy to know I am not the only one
Thanks for the input.

Welcome and congrats on your first fill up.... :cheers2: :eek:

Just wait till you get to the larger multiple tanked boats. Thats when you really just want to look the other way as your card is burning up..... :sifone:

Ratickle knows about this too....... :bump:

Mr 46 BT... I could only imagine the fuel bill...
I'm guessing a min of $800, probably closer to $1200.:eek::eek:
(and I'm probably shooting low)...
 
How was your first Holiday weekend in it? Did you burn through some fuel?
