Seriously! Unless you're heading on an overnigter, no reason to keep more then
75 gallons on board. All the rest which is like 500 lbs just kills performance.

Its more of a convenience thing for me. Affordable Rec 90 is kind of a pain to deal with in filling her up. The way I see it I should get 3 trips from a tank. My average trip runs a little over 100 nautical so as weight decreases and performance increases I should realize a substantial savings across the board. The way I see it I should gain a full extra trip with every tankful and then some. Looking forward to seeing how it all acts on a real world trip.
I'm not too sure I can compare numbers with the proline. I don't think the deadrise and width factors are the same and the gear and ice load profile of my trips is pretty extreme.
