Can't remember the guys name in the Brown CV23. Hopefully we'll see him in red wing. Had a built 350. Said it will do 62! We put on 80 miles on a single tank. We were running on fumes at the end. Hastings to down town Mpls. Great day with 0 problems! Shawn rescued a run away fishing boat for a guy who had no idea his boat was missing.

Apparently I hit 49.3 but I don't believe it. Must have been down river.

We left the launch filled up gas 29.2 gal, On a 30 gal tank.  Then we we went out on WBL and meet some friends. Thinking we should have just camped on the river it was such a great day and beautiful night.

Had a great time with everyone . Until next time!!
I think this has become an addiction.

80 miles and almost 8 hours on the river...
what a great day :D
I used a full tank of gas (approx 18 Gal) and that marked the second Gallon of Mix Oil for the season.

I used 16 gallons. 5 mpg. Not too bad of mileage. Good old 140!

Looks like a blast. Did anyone need to refuel on the water?
If David burned 18 gallons, thats the size of the tank in the 175 and it would eat more than that, I'm afraid.

This has been a poor season for boating for us. I just don't have a feel for how long a tank will last. We were out once this year after the valve job and I was shocked at home fast the tank emptied. I guess I need to keep the secondary's from opening.
Hoping next year will be better.
Shawn musta used the most.

I did not go through the Ford Dam like the others did, so my miles were fewer. I get about 4 MPH running fast and about 5 MPG taking it easy. I started with about 20 gallons - 10 in the bow and 10 in the two portable in the back seat floor and ended up with 7 gallons.

Now fixing the minor breakdowns of the trip - bought new Exide starting battery from Menards for $64 replacing the same brand 10 year old battary, tightened bolt of mirror, and fixed trim tab. Ready for the next round of things to fix.

There's three gas docks between the Hastings dam and the Ford dam.
One a short way up stream from Lion Levee launch.
One under the High Bridge in St.Paul.
and one near the Mn. river / Miss. river junction.

I can't make trip on one (18 gal.) tank, so need to top off with 4 or 5 gal. of very expensive "Dock gas" !

Apparently the gas docks close at 5. I wanted gas but couldn't as they were closed. I think all three of us we on fumes!

Two years ago on the Mississippi with the Glastron group, Jason towed me back the last 2 miles to Lions Levee at St. Paul Park.  Thanks again Jason.
