how much to fill up your boat

on an 07 22ssv spending around 140.00 to fill up.

06 SANTE $200 +

I actually hope everyone chimes in as i am curious to see what costs what to fill as it may influence my next boat purchase.

If our x-45 is bone dry it is $400 to fill it up. We usually keep it right at a half of a tank. Burns faster anything over that. We put $100 for the weekend and then another $50 for the week to ride.

fill up both truck and boat when both are bone dry. $350

Reading this thread makes me sick to my stomach...I put $100 in my Moomba Mob V last night and that got me about 3/4 of a tank. Gas is $3.89 here.

to fill up our X-15 from 1/4 tank was $105 Gas is 4.85

$3.85!!!! Braden, is there any jobs out there? I'm with Michael, gas is nigh unto $5 here.

Also, is everyone using premium? I know my owners manual says to use 93 octane. I always use premium in mine at $4.29 a gallon it's about $150.. A couple of my buddies that have the same engine in their boat never us premium gas.

I use regular and add a fuel additive. Suppodedly it creates the same effect and saves on fillups. '03 sanger v230 it costs about 160 to fill up. that will last at least the weekend though.

05 sanger v215 somewhere around 130 with good ol regular 87.

08 X Star is $200

07 VLX about 200.

07 x-2 180.00

07 x-2 180.00

My owners manual says it only needs 87. 06 sanger 37 gallon tank but I only been able to put 30 gallons max. I usally drop 20 gallons in at 100 bucks lasts about 4.5 hours

2005 Calabria Pro V $300 when bone dry.

03 tige 22v when empty takes 38 gals approx. $150 burns 3.5-4 gph stock ballast.

Well we filled up a 3/4 empty 03 X2 with $160 last weekend. The gas was $4.85 on the lake!!!

'07 Mobius LSV, $185 dry. '07 GMC Sierra Quad, $120 dry

about $ 5,500.00!!! but we are talking about our houseboat which holds approx. 1,100 gallons. the supra im thinkin close to $ 250.00..... the 1,100 gallons should last about 12-14 days which includes filling the supra and a couple of sea-doos.....

$4.85 on the lake ... that's our street pump normal ... feel fortunate!

1100 gallons! How big is that houseboat? oh and my 86 supra is about 120 bone dry but I dont fill it up I throw about 5 to 10 gallons a time in.

07 Launch 20SSV, about $160.

Luckily it's at the dealer more than on the lake.

$80 - 95 ski ray DD

$50 to fill up from half a tank used for riding on for about 5 hours. Only running a few hundred over stock triple with gas prices so high. $4.31 for 87, and thats on base where they say they pay all the teaxes, yeah right!

05 Sanger V215

Last month at Pedro gas was $6.00 a gallon. Thats when it was $4 a gallon at the pumps. I was there last weekend but filled up in town. Gas is $4.50 at the stations now so I imagine its 6.50- 7.00 now on the water. Multiply 30 gallons for a full day times the weekend= about $400 at 6.50. Wow I shouldnt have just done the math its easier just paying tank by tank. I'll fill up before launching this summer. It seems the campgrounds at the lake arent as full as last year. Any one else seeing that?

Toyota Epic 22 = $108 for 27 gallons @ $4.00. 27 gallons lasts a long time in a Toyota.

06 X1 almost dry was a little over 100

This is why I'm building a winch

The good thing about the prices is that tubers wont be able to afford to tear up the water as much. The high prices should keep the lakes a little more traffic free. I say raise it to 7.00 a gal.

$210 this morning in the Pro-V. The needle was bouncing around 1/4 tank when we hit the fuel dock.

as often as i can!!!!!!!

11,701.49 for 19,600lbs of jet A for a 3.5hr flt.
I plan on spending 800 dollars alone on gas next week in powell. OUTCH...

Trevor i doubt it will keep that many people off the lake. but to contribute to the topic diesel at $5 x 40 gal tank 200$ for the truck. then about 150 for the boat. its not the gas prices keeping me off the lake right now it my f'in leg.

I just spent a fortune at Dangling Rope Marina!
Dang that place is cool (Powell)

Vride is $115 to fill in Idaho, and about $125 in WA.

We're about a mile from the stateline so we plan our outings to anywhere based on whether or not we need to gas anything up.

Being about an hour away from the water is starting to really hurt the wallet...
Having to fill up the truck and boat is almost like making a mortgage payment!

Is it just me, but we are seeing maybe 1/4 of the boats on the river that we have seen in the past?

'03 22ssv we put $100 at a time no clue how much it would take bone dry
'06 SANTE 220 around 220-240 when bone dry

07 SSV around $140 bone dry.

Adam, where do you ride in Houston? What color is your 22?

120g @ 4.50(lake price)=$540.00

'08 X-Star @ $3.85 a gallon = $204.05

95 hydrodyne 30 gal tank @ 3.86 a gallon reg = 115.80 on the street. I have pulled it every time to fill this season.

care to elaborate on that one??

270.00 for my B52 V23

2003 Mobius LSV----$160.00 empty.

If I'm bone dry I'm looking at $180 in my 08VLX. The most I've put in at a time has been about 100 so far this year. Steapest I've paid is about $3.89. Never fill up at the Marina though.

My 08 SANTE 210 usually runs about $70 for an afternoon set, which runs from about 430-5 PM til dark. About $20-$22/hr when pulling.

Filled up yesterday and my Sanger v215 still had about 1/4 tank and it took $142.00. Paid $4.09/gallon for premium.

Filled up my buddies' 23' LSV at the yacht club marina last fall. There happened to be a guy there working on the pump, and talking on the cell phone at the same time.
Smitty ran his card & then told us to just pump it, don't tell me how much it's gonna cost me. About 1/2 a tank & I look at the pump.... the gallons are flying by, but the dollars are barely moving. Rather than say anything I just let it go. The pump clicks off when he gets to like 58 gallons. I grabbed the receipt & we bugged out of there.

As soon as we got out of ear shot of the pump & the guy working on it, I pulled the receipt out of my pocket & showed it to Smitty....... $2.18.

whoa bill... im tryin that this week. maybe tomorow or weds. usually we fill up at union point cuz they are keeping the gas a 4.79 right now, which is only bout 10 cents higher than the street pumps. everywhere else on the delta that i have been is over 5 bucks.

yesterday we put 100 in my buddies 23 lsv and it was just under half tank. got us to just over 3/4

wow Bill...... I will have to make sure that we send you the billing statement on that one. Hope you had fun at the Malibu Jam Session......

Nice. Ripping off the local marina---$2.18
Posting it on the same internet site the owner frequents-----Priceless.


Its not the marinas fault gas prices are so high.

Not the owner but definately work their. I know Bill well enough that a $400.00 gas tab won't bother him at all.......

So he has plenty of money and chooses to rip people off for the fun of it? Sounds like a great guy

Bone dry looking at about $240

bu 247- 87 gallons x $5= $435.

2004 Supra 22SSV - 40 gal tank @ 3.90 per gallon = $156.00

2008 MB Sport B52v23. If empty, around $280. 64 gallon tank so I try not to keep it full so it doesn't burn as much.

Just curious, where does everybody kep getting this "Don't keep it full so it doesn't burn as much"?

^^^Less fuel=less weight.

07 Mobius LSV $160

thats doesn't make sense since we all weight down our boats with ballast/wedge.

07 x2 most i've put in was 160 and it was pretty close to empty

We put $120 in our Supra 21v with the fuel gauge sitting on E. We were told to use 87 to help eliminate vapor locking as 89 & 93 burn hotter. We also fill up on the way to the lake. Gas on the lake gas is more per gallon.

We were told the same thing about vapor locking. We have a Sanger V210 and were told that the motor runs best on 87

485 dollar.

I thought the higher the octane the cooler it burns. That was what I was told on my dirt bike.

so far im guessing about 45 to 50 bucks for a full tank! i love my '79 MC. last me a whole day on the river too.

The first thing I thought when that guy ripped off the gas station was 'what a dirtbag, who would brag about that'. I hate high gas prices, but screwing over a local company and bragging about it messed up.

84 SN2001 I guess my gauge is off, I was on E and it only took 23 gal $89.50. 3.91 gal. I am pretty sure i should have a 30gal tank.

Right around the 250 mark, while hauling gas at 3.85. The gas on the lake is 4.85...

280 canadian.

These prices are totally disgusting, but what am I complaining about, I have the smallest number so far. $81 at $1.25L in a '78 Nautique.

I'm not entirely sure how big our tank is since I've never filled it before, but apparently it is 100 litres (25 gallons or so) at today's price for 91 that is a nudge over $NZ200... Ouch. Good thing she uses about a quarter to a half tank per day. We can only ride about 3 or 4 hours at a time since where we ride is tidal.

If we had to do it, it would be at 320 for 67 gallons at 4.80 (regular). Boy that'll blow when that day comes.

08 Enzo 220 from E is about $200

Kevin
your Wakecraft holds 67 gallons?
wow, that tank must span the entire boat

Just wait oil just hit another all time high. $140.00 a barrel. Gas will be $7.00 a gallon by the end of the year. I don't know how much longer i will be able to afford this
