    bassboat range

    so..just for the sake of argument....how far can you run on 30 gallons with a 20 foot bullet/225 before looking for a fuel stop?? and do yall think a 20 foot bullet will use less fuel than a ranger or skeeter same size/same engine?? im just wondering why bullets come rigged with only a 30 gallon tank vs 40-50 in other rigs...

    It will defintely burn less fuel than the hevier boats, range would depend on what engine you're runnin, carb, efi, or opti. If ya want a good idea how far they go before they run out with a 300x I know someone you can ask

    Depends how fast you run. Don't think you can go from Segnette to Venice. I'd guess 70 to 100 miles. Just a guess
