06-26-2010 09:00 PMVery nice boat. Just fill it up and don't worry about it. You will never talk about how much fuel you put in it but you will always talk about the good times had.

06-27-2010 12:33 AMHey MonkeySpunk... (sorry, that name is just, well...)
Now you're playing with the big boys, and you now have a REAL boat.
Congrats my friend. The fuel money is probably the cheapest part to play in this game. (that's why I've stuck to a single - twins can get thirsty).
Mark, glad to hear she is running good and No Worries."Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

06-27-2010 03:51 PMIt costs 280 bucks to fill up the 20' wellcraft !
(it lasts a few days though
) The 27' has a two 70 gallon tanks but I rarely put more than 80 gallons in......As Tim says....gas is the cheapest thing you'll ever put in your boat !

06-27-2010 05:41 PMMark's a good friend of mine from back when I was living in Pittsburgh. Trust me, he can afford the fill-up, he just has a hard time unclenching his butt-cheeks to cough up the dough. A jewish-Italian guy... Originally Posted by Bobcat

06-27-2010 07:29 PMCrap, the Lambo boat had a 200 gal tank and when running heavy waves (pumping the throttles) it would get 1/2 mile per gallon !!!!
I would just say "fill er up" and not look at the Amex charge until after the fun !!! And that was back when gas was cheep !!!!!!!!

I have one also and have a bad gas gauge found out when the yellow light lights i need to get gas but it only taked about 60 gallons and gushes out the fill. This weekend we did our first poker of the season so i filled it up again when we arrived at our destinstion 60 miles down the coast only took 4 gallons and gushed out. The gas attendent put the nozel on slow and it took another 85 gallons so i guess I have been riding around with only half a tank thinking it was full. I here these fountians have strange gas tanks.

06-29-2010 07:52 PMThere is a thread maybe over on OSO I read a while back about putting gas in a Fountain. About the same thing you explained. Have to fill slow.

07-05-2010 03:13 PMWelcome and congrats on your first fill up....
Just wait till you get to the larger multiple tanked boats. Thats when you really just want to look the other way as your card is burning up.....
Ratickle knows about this too.......

I'm guessing a min of $800, probably closer to $1200.
