  • We have the bean bags now for sure. Three of them that periodically end up in the Gulf wind,

    A 40 mile run and all that we can do out there is about 80 gallons. A long run (100 miles) and fishing all day is about 140 gallons. We are just out of range of the 115 nm spots with our on board fuel of 245 gallons. 

see all

  • bean bags 4 sure

  • wow so how manny reserve gas gallons do u get there

  • how much gas do you use back and fourth to run out there?

  • Nice vid. I want that autopilot!

    You should try to get a pair of beanbags for your crew, they will thank you. I love mine. We routinely make 3 hour (75-80 mile) runs out to the Florida middle grounds from Tarpon Springs.

    

  • Good job. This is one of the few amateur videos of a running contender that does a decent job at putting the viewer on the boat (virtual experience). Your engine shots and bow shots while running gives a good perspective to the viewer.

    Again good job.

  • Takes a good boat to run like that in those condition!

  • Nice contender. We get weather like that here in key largo. Contenders and yamahas handle it no problem! - Tight lines -
