As i recall fuel wise….pulling a skier we were burning a 5 gal tank in about 1.5 hr max
for trolling with my flat bottom wood skif (18 feet is my memory is ok) we would troll all day with 5 gal (6 US gal)
a day’s fishing walleye 20 miles out or so and trolling all day would burn a total of 15 gal. (18US) but what a great feeling !!
Gas was $1.00/gal in the bush outfitter (a rip-off) with gas being 60-70 cents/gal in the big city !
today my 75 ETEC burns 2 cups of gas/ hour (. 6 liter/hr) trolling) 🙂
