What are the guesses for cruise range - 22 Classic, 502 MPI, 55 Gallon tank.

Wondering just how far I can venture if the seas are flat when I visit the keys - is anywhere in the Bahamas realistic - Cay Sal Banks?

Oh well, back to the original question - how far can I go before I am running on empty?

Let's ASSume your are running 3000 rpm and going 40 mph (round numbers okay) and your using 6.5gph at 3000 rpm....you have 55 gallons?? you can go 8.46 hours or 338.4 miles.

see, wasn't that easy?

Get your GPS and tell me how fast your going at 3000 rpm and also very ACCURATELY figger out the GPH at 3000 rpm, and the rest is easy math... :shades:
