I am interested in visiting some of the islands off our coast line and would hate to run out of fuel.

I know that the GPR sucks 17 gallons at full throttle, due to the sea swells i will only be doing 1/3 to half throttle to the islands, do any of you enduro or long distance fellow skiers have an idea what i can expect.

If we were going easy we could go 60 miles up the river before the low gas warning buzzer would go on, 15.9 gallons includes reserve if I am not mistaken.
Hope your going to the Islands with other boats the ocean demands respect.

My experience is 60 minutes, 6,000 rpms, 50 miles and 15 gallons. Tank after tank after tank...

Big swells?, you are the R&D. Good luck.

GRamp

bone stock your looking between 55-60 miles full throttle. And thats sucking fumes.. Good luck, bring a GPS, cellphone and a HAM radio.

During break in I got 3 1/2 hours out of my GPR and the warning buzzer still didn't sound. My RPM range the whole time was between 4000-5000 with occasional bursts to 6000. I imagine I'd probably get about 4 hours out of the whole tank. So I would think you should be able to get about 150 miles out of a tank if you're not going WOT. And I hear they don't burn as much after break in.

I ran the LB2CAT race, approx. 65 miles, with a stageII plus kit, ran 2/3 to 3/4 throttle to conserve fuel, came back with about 1/2 gallon left in the tank.

PS. The tank was vented to assure max capacity, probably had about 1 gallon more than a regular fill-up.

In the Texas offshore endurance races, My GPR would typically last about 8 laps on a tank of gas. Laps average between 4 and 5 miles.
