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

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....
