I agree with your throttle back comment. As I mentioned earlier I run the 50 Merc 4 stroke on a 17 ft aluminum Gregor. I can fish lake Powell with quite a bit of running around based off of a houseboat for 4 days and I only use about 12 Gallons of gas. I always have a spare 6 gallon can and I rarely ever need it. Once up on plane, by throttling back from full speed just a few MPH it increases the range and reduces the fuel consumption dramatically. Running full out is harder on the engine and much harder on your wallet $ as well.
