Today the way out was beautiful got my ass handed to me on the way home fishing wasn't all that great but you can't catch fish at the dock. Thirty six gallons of fuel about 2.5 miles per gallon. Average speed 30 miles an hour

Wait what? You only burned 36 gallons? WOW
And how are you taking these pictures while you're driving the boat? You need an AP!
Psst, your live well lid is open.

Yes sir 36.. And thats one of the reasons it difficult for me to part with this boat fast and fuel efficient can't beat that .I leave the live well that way slightly open don't like looking at the condensation. An A.P.would be sweet taking that 2nd photo was not easy. I ran by myself today.

Manual "like" for you running 90 miles by yourself.

I installed my first AP after trying to get multiple lines out for trolling in a confused sea. I couldn't run fast enough between the rods and the wheel to keep the lines from tangling. Final straw was losing a good size cobia in strong waves near the beach. I was letting him wear himself out while I drifted, but got close to the beach and tried to aim the boat into the waves. One hand on the rod and one on the wheel just didn't work and I lost him. Ordered the AP that night.
I'll never own another boat without an AP. My 80 mile trip to the Gulf Stream is click the chartplotter a few times and just sit back and relax and keep a good lookout.

That’s great fuel burn numbers but I want to see fish.

If I run 90 miles fish with ice and gear a 3 guys I burn about double that with a single F-225. 36 gallons is awesome. Rag’s

One of the reasons why I like this boat with the 150s. I run 3 blade props that are for a 2660.
