montebello's
Hey mate, just have a couple of questions for you... I have a 5.8 mtr plate boat with a 125 merc on it and was wonderin how much fuel i'd be needing to take if going for 3 days and just cruising round the islands once there. Aren't too sure on fuel consumption as have only had the boat for 2 mths. Any info would be great, thanks.

How big is you're tank Brad?
How big is you're tank Brad? just seeing the economics of such a trip from Fortescue myself as my beast has the same motor as yours and 130L tank which i am think isn't gonna be very handy in a long trip like that which will require me to bring 7-8 20L jerry cans at least

i came back with 2 jerries
i came back with 2 jerries and not much in the tank, if we had to do a "bad weather" transit i think i would have needed the lot

Monties October
What dates in October are you looking at going. We're heading over with the one boat from the 3rd to the 6th and again with a large contingent from the 29th for a longer stay. Might see you there....
