For what I see on the lake, unless you have under a 30 HP motor I do not think anybody will be in trouble. I see the cigerette boats going by, and that is not water spray going out the back, that's the gas being taken thru. In order for gas to become a problem it must sit idol for a longer period of time. So put in the gas, open the throttle and watch the gas guage, It actually heads for empty every time.
