I successfully completed a long trip today in the open ocean, 130 miles. Here is a gps reading of the trip. We launched the boat at 7am and took it out of the water at 5pm. I took 10 gallons of extra fuel. I averaged about 2.6 miles per gallon and I was really pushing the boat hard and fast. You should have seen the looks on the faces of the fishing boats out there, I guess it is not every day someone sees our type of boat.
