Nothin' -- the joys of fishing electric only reservoirs

bigbill reply :

I feel if you can afford the boat, truck or car you can afford the gas.

I don't drink or gamble or smoke. I'm a tackle hoarder.

Team9nine reply :

Never paid more than $9 over the past 7 years, but finally upgraded the boat this spring and now it's not unusual to pay as much as $12-$13 for a full tank, and a little more often, too.

10-12.00 its ok.

BaitMonkey1984 reply :

In my aluminum boat with 3 gal tank- about 15 for gas/oil/marvel mystery oil/seafoam/star ton stabilizer concoction. In my Ranger filled iwith a premium and the same concoction around $150.00. I don't generally mind filling up the boat- just do not like those few days when the truck and the boat are both bone dry- that makes for an expensive day.

zachb34 reply :

$15 in a 6.6 gallon tank and I can run it comfortably WOT for 4-6 trips. I however will not win any races against a bass boat.

S Hovanec reply :

My boat holds 32 gallons. First fill up of the year is a killer. After that, its usually no more than 5-7 gallons a trip. I love my Honda!

joefish reply :

Only fill the tank once a year when going into Canadian wilderness. 24 gallon tank and normally only put $20 in at a time and can get 3-4 trips on that.

Long Mike reply :

How much does it cost to fill up my boat? That is a question that is so vague that it has so many variables as to make any responses meaningless.

Ski213 reply :

From dead empty its 120 something plus sea foam and oil right now. It always hurts my feelings a little to pull up to the pumps and stick the card in the pump next to the truck and get it going then walk back to the boat and do the same. Then I just stand back and watch a chunk of my paycheck evaporate. Gotta pay to play though I guess.

With what?

Bluebasser86 reply :

33 gallonsX about $3 a gallon for ethanol free=$99

I normally put about $20 or $30 at a time in though. The biggest lake I fish regularly is only 7,000 acres so even a really long run is only a few miles.

Fishing Rhino reply :

As Long Mike said, the question is meaningless.

I have a Nitro Z8 with a 58 gallon tank, and a 200 horsepower Merc hanging off the transom. A full tank of fuel will last me more than a season around here. When I've gone on the road trips is horse of a different color. Probably burned about 15 gallons per day on the large impoundments.

Around here I burn less than two gallons per day. Keep in mind the ponds around here are relatively small, averaging a couple of miles from one end to the other, and less than a mile across.

I'm guessing it costs as much to keep the trolling motor batteries charged as it does to pay for the fuel I burn. That's just a guess.

One thing is certain. I burn a lot more fuel hauling the big boat around than I burn on the water.

LuckyGia reply :

44 gallons x going rate.... approximately $120

+ $45 gallon pre mix oil.

Goose52 reply :

Couple cents to recharge the TM battery - my primary power source...

WIGuide reply :

With current prices around here around the $85 mark. I hardly ever fill it though. I usually throw in $20-$30 and call it good for a few trips.

BassWhole! reply :

Stopped the pump at $999 on principal when gas was over $4 at the marina. With today's prices around $350-500.

I'm with ya on that one. 5 gallons on the water and 15 to get the boat there and back!

Dwight Hottle reply :

52 gallons for me plus oil. I usually refill at half empty so around $75.

rabidsquirrel reply :

Nitro 911 CDC w/ 225HP Optimax Pro XS Fill Up = ~$160 (55 gal + 1.5 gal of DFI oil at $45 per gal)

This is misleading, b/c most trips/tournaments I'm burning less than 10 gallons of gas and .25~.5 gallons of oil.

ned_riggins reply :

Man some of these are making me rethink my desire for a bigger, faster boat. 18 bucks to fill up, 50 hp honda, lasts 2 weeks (5-6 mornings on the water) is NOT fast.

I went from a 4 stroke 60hp Mercury on a 16' aluminum to a 150 Pro XS on an 18' 9" fiberglass. I felt a little sick to my stomach those first couple times watching the gas pump rolling, and rolling, and rolling. Funny thing is, my old boat ran about 30 WOT, new boat will run 55-60 depending on conditions and the person I'm fishing with, but I usually cruise about 40-45mph, just feels like a comfortable speed to me.

Exactly i feel like my top speed right now is just a little slow for a good cruise haha. My mind is basically made up at this point, I dont think the wife is quite there yet though......

Just get one with a bigger Honda. My 135 is great on gas!

tkrrox reply :

100 gallons+572ci=never less than $200.00

i gps'd it and i get 1.5 mpg at 55 and i don't even want to know at 75...lol

now my fish collector is a lot better

i now have a trolling motor on it...great for the pond i visit

Goldstar225 reply :

From bone dry it takes me about $25-$30 and I'm good for 2-3 days on the water. Back when gas was almost $4.00 a gallon I watched my nephew top off his truck and bass boat for right at $300.00 (but then again his boat is much larger and more powerful than mine.).

Jed Cutshall Fishing reply :

I can usually fill up the tank in my G3 for around $50 or so. I run a 90hp Yamaha 2-stroke on my Eagle 170, and that's a bigger motor than most aluminum boats have, but G3s are made to handle it. Because the aluminum is light and the motor is strong, the fuel economy is awesome. I can fish all day on a half a tank, even when I need to make a long run. If fuel is cutting into your budget think about taking a look at the Eagle Talon line from G3. You won't be disappointed.

Further North reply :

$120 if the tank is empty. It's never empty.

Did about 165 miles in a week in Canada for $55.00 in June.

desmobob reply :

It doesn't cost much to fill up my 11-gallon tank from empty. I love my Mercury 40HP EFI four-stroke... in an average fishing day (ALL day) I use about five or six bucks worth of gas! My Tracker Pro170 is no speed demon. It cruises at max economy at 23MPH and tops out at about 33MPH.

Sometimes, I'd like to be able to go faster, but every time I get home and top off the tank I'm pretty pleased with what I have. I don't even stop at the pumps; I top it off from a gas can at home.

Tight lines,

Bob

I'm in the same boat (yeah, that was intended)...

I run a Johnson labeled Suzuki DF140...and while I'd love to have a Yamaha 150 back there and hit mid 50s,,,cuz...ya know...who wouldn't...mid-40s is plenty for the lakes I fish...and when the needle on my gas gauge doesn't move after a full day on the water...I'm pretty darned happy with what I've got.

She'll cruise at 32-33 MPH and 4500 RPM and not use much gas at all.
