fuel tank?

[Scott Shenton]

What size fuel tanks do your boat's have, what motor, and how much do you use on a day of fishing?

 

[TOMMY RICH]

22 gallon(at least that is what's advertised) w a 90 I can run all day hard on my 185 loaded.

TEE

 

[gone bye bye]

50 gallons, 225hp



Cant run all day (unless its slow), but I make long runs...some are greater than 70 miles one way.

I have 2003 PT175 and the literature/web site says it is a 21 gallon, but I think it is a typo. I think it is actually a 12 gallon tank based on my fill-ups. I run a 25 hp 4stroke usually on a 600-1300 acre lake. I do not know for sure, but seems like it does not use much at all. I went to Lake of Egypt last fall and fished three days with three of us in the boat and still had plenty of gas left when I got home.

40 Gallons and a 150hp. I can run for months on a tank if i fish small waters. On big water i can burn the whole thing in a day easily.

 

[Scott Hammer TOXIC]

57 gallons, Fuel injected 225 and I can run her down to fumes on a 13,000 acre lake in a day.



TOXIC

 

[Mark Hofman]

41 gallons; 150 h.p. carbed Mercury, and I use about 10 gallons in a hard day's worth of fishing depending on how far I have to go to get to a productive spot. On some days I don't burn more than a couple of gallons, on others I can run the tank half dry just being a speed demon.

Also 57 gallons, 225 Opti will will give me about 4.5 - 5 days average use (Not Tourney Use). The EFI 250XB will move the needle on the gas gauge almost as fast as the boat. The DFI 250XS lies in between the two on gas performance, with my overall preference going to the 225 Opti (DFI).

Run it empty then fill it up Downstream...at least my wallet says it's probably a 21 on mine.
