Seller name is “riverfisher.” Rings a bell but I can’t quite put my finger on it...

Here's a stupid question, how much fuel does one of those burn in a weekend?

I've never owned a big, fast, fishing boat but I had a big block, injected, twin tubo Chevy ski boat with a 40 gal tank. It was good for 3.5 hours to a an hour and a half or so depending on what I was doing. Good times but expensive...

if you can afford a boat like that I'm guessing you're not too worried about how much fuel you are using...

No shit!

A reasonable formula for fuel usage is: Max HP/10 = Gallons per Hour @ WOT (Wide Open Throttle) give or take.

So, that 300HP Yamaha on the boat pictured above will burn roughly 30Gal per Hr wide-open and be running upper 50's to ~60MPH. Another very rough rule of thumb is that most boats have about a 2hr supply of fuel @ WOT.

Thanks for the heads up! I actually brought the new rig home last night.

2015 Ranger 1880 with Yamaha 175/9.9. Lowrance graphs and a (sad face) terrova 80.

now you need a bigger garage

it's neat how that works

 

[DirtyMike]

shes wedged in there. I have about 3 feet behind the motor, but I had to trim it down to fit under the 7' door.

 

[BrokenBackJack]

But does it have sparkles??? :;:huh

 

[shorthairsrus]

my sad face terrova - puts lines up and down on by my bird. I have tried everything - its better but its not good. i was going to throw a new one up - but i think i will keep it for ice fishing and wait till the minn kota dies.

I need one of those storage gizmos above your boat

I got that off of amazon. 1/2" drill lowers and raises it. Pretty slick for the ice house that I haven't even used this year.

Still going to have the wind in your hair by the looks of it.

Full glass is on order. I'll have to run it with bubbles for a bit. Still better than ski goggles.

 

[eseamands]

I agree with Dirty Mike--- He talked me into one of those storage units from Amazon for my ice fishing stuff and it is amazing. Saves a ton of space.

I stopped by to see the new rig the other night, but Dirtymike was nowhere to be seen, and had left his wife home alone.

Let's see where this goes.

Annd.. GO!
