How far is your normal ??

Whats your normal boat run?? Not counting the endless circles trolling. I seam to be fishing less and riding more. I don't remember the last time I put the trolling motor in the water. I don't ski or tube either. The longest run at one time was a 380 mile river run but like the last trip it was 58 miles, I can get around 90 miles safely out of a tank of gas and as of late it's mostly dry when I stop for the day. I was just wondering if 50 to 100 miles a trip is about normal?

When we go to Canada I would say 30 to 40 miles each way. I run all day on 17 gallons of gas. 140hp merc with an old 18' fiberglass bow rider

YA. I don't do as good. I have a 38 gal tank and always carry more. I only get around 2.5 to 3 mpg at cruising speed- Inboard sportjet 175 hp 18 aluminum windshield boat.
