NH boat is about 80 gal. FL boat is 100 gal. Previous FL boat 200 gal.
I try not to keep a full tank but I share NH boat with the family and they sometimes load it with gas. Pushing extra gas for a short day trip seems crazy.
The FL boat had a bad fuel gauge but I just corrected it so now I can start figuring the fuel consumption. It is much less than the previous boat. Both boats have fuel injected 2 stroke OB. Previous boat was a Grady 232 with hardtop. The cost of storage(cubic inch) and running 2 engines were the reasons for trading. The "new to me" boat is a 2101 Seaswirl DC with a Bimini top and 1 motor. Much cheaper to run and maintain.
