Big - I can't give you exact numbers, just got the boat last year, by the time I fixed the transom, got it in the water in August, and ran it till the stripers and blues left in mid October, pretty much every weekend - but I have the 47 gal tank, filled it up once, ran it for 8 hours+, chasin fish all over north of Cape Anne, still showed better than 1/2 tank at the end of the day, went out the next weekend without adding any, ran out, trolled around for 4 hours or so, and back in, still showing 1/4 tank - never put in more than 18 gal. for a days trip after that.

They say the old carb motors are gas pigs, and maybe so, certainly my earlier experiences with 2 stroke outboards was that they were gas hogs, but this is a pretty economical, and capable, rig, in my view.
