Sta-bil marine works great. Stabilizes fuel easily over the winter for me. I run a 9.5 hp 2 stroke , a 70 hp 2 stroke & a 2hp 4 stroke. I use it in all of em. Works great. I try not to leave much fuel in the tanks & I also add some seafoam. I run fuel out of carbs when I put em away for any extended period.

Woah!  Your spots all in different county's ?

Ha. Rarely ever run more than 2 miles between spots.  Last tourney a few weeks back i ran almost a full tank that day and didnt seem to run alot, but obviously we did.  Of course always at full throttle, full livewell, full gear, with 2 guys.  So gas is rarely in my boat more than a week.  Its only a carb'ed 150, but boy does it like the fuel.  Miss my 4 stroke 50 Yamaha.

Man, my old 200 EFI will eat 20gl in a day pretty easy. makin me want a newer motor,

I can cover roughly 60 miles of water on 18gal. of fuel with the old 1989 GT150.  If I can't find some fish within 25 miles of where I'm launching at then I'd be launching elsewhere.   I'd rather put those miles on the truck if possible.

Especially if you have a modern fuel injected truck!!😀

I get roughly 3.5 miles to a gallon on my 1995 135 Mercury pushing my 17'6" champ, if i run it wide open we get about 3mpg if i run it around 4500 rpms i get about 4 mpg.

I know everything about nothing and know nothing about everything!

wrench, after thinking about it, yes they are. Pink looking dot is Masters ramp by the house. That cove seperated by the orange line is the Bona area COE campground. Part of that campground is in Dade county and the other in Cedar county. As a Cedar Co. deputy you have to go into Dade county to get to the Cedar part of the campground. Very odd indeed. So yes i fish that cove/area most trips out.
