- Thinking about buying a sportfishing boat but want to know how much fuel the boat will burn? Well, in this video, we share exactly what our 40' express boat burns, and discuss the fuel economy and fuel consumption of other boats too.
Getting rich? “It’s not happening”…..love it!!
You gotta be rich to begin with! I got a boat, you are so right, we ARE fortunate!
Love your videos!!
Thanks Bill!!!
People who don't own a boat or offshore fish have no clue all the expenses. I explained to someone fishing fuel burn and pointed to a 55gallon drum, then said, we pretty much throw one overboard every hour the boat is moving.
Now thats a great way to explain it Peter!!
People do NOT think of that.. makes me want to fuel up before my guests disembark for the day so they can SEE what fuel ALONE costs.
Exactly Stewart! Most folks really have no understanding of this!
Best videos out there. Love how they are transparent and honest about the pros and cons.
Appreciate it Derek!
Just found you guys, love the your honesty. Subscribed
Appreciate that Robert!
Enjoying the videos. That’s such a good looking boat!
Appreciate that Lucas!
Just curious to know, how long do those giant 16 cylinder mtu engines last before they need to be fully replaced? Can they be refiited indefinitely, or does it make more sense to replace them at some point? Thanks.
Do you have to buy fuel at the dock or can you shop around and have it delivered via fuel truck? Always wanted to know that.
You can find some public docks where a fuel truck can get close enough. If you’re in a Marina then odds are No, especially if the marina sells fuel.
Now do maintenance costs a year on sportsfish & those diesels.
Good idea Lefty. Will do.
I was once told one of the bigger Bayliss boats was burning 80 gallons per hour. A commercial fisherman said you could have stacks of 20 dollar bills and couldn't make it rain fast enough to pay the bill. Just what i was told by 2 different people.
What a stupid analogy. The FACT is, fuel cost is generally only a small part of the cost of ownership but that's life and you can't take it with you so if you have it and enjoy boating BUY A BOAT.
65 viking “bully” 130 gallons per hour doing 34knots on clean bottom and running geae
That’s some serious fuel 🔥. Wow.
good fir it 300 nm ranfe at fruser
What fish are you catching at that speed?!!
@@josephhervieux7374 you are traveling to fishing grounds at that speed. We have long runs from port to where we fish. Usually between 50-190 miles one way.
@@BullySportfishing that's what I thought. I use to fish salmon and tuna commercially . We would cruise at 10 knots to get to the fishing grounds and once there would putter at between 5 and 7 knots. A 50 foot Monk would cost 15k to fill and the fuel would last 3-4 weeks of constant running. We would shut the engines at night for 5-6 hours and drift while we slept.
My buddy told me if you got to go Diesel no gas
Great explanation again on expenses. The old "BOAT" adage holding true for repairs/parts AND fuel...Break Out Another Thousand, or two.
With today's fuel prices, have noticed some charters adding fuel surcharges.
The offshore charters down in Venice LA have formed a little Cajon Mafia contingency. All charters are the Charter Price + Fuel. Running quad outboards on 40ft catamarans isn't cheap. Nor is the boat payment on those Freeman hulls.
Makes for some interesting customer interactions I'm sure. The fuel charge is how F$CK'n much??? Good thing you brought two credit cards today.
That’s super interesting. Curious: How did Freeman become the dominant force for charters in La??
Put $1000 worth of fuel in my sport fisher last week just to have everyone cancel. Gotta love it!
Painful brother!!
yes
31 Tiara express twin 6BT Cummins
1.5 MPG at 28mph
góod for it
@@sharonbraselton4302 bless your heart
I'm looking at a 41 open with twin Cat 3208's. Any idea what the fuel burn on that would be? Technically do you have to go that fast? Doesn't lower speed mean less fuel burn? Trolling Salmon at 5 knots and Tuna at 8 knots. Unless you have a big jog to the fishing spot ,why go so fast?
This video could've been broken down into 60 seconds but instead they dragged it out to 6.40 mins
I have a friend that owns a custom 75’ sport’s fishing boat with big MTU diesels…At cruise speed he burn 3 to 4 gallons per mile traveled! KaChing!🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑💸💸💸💸💸
I need friends like that. 😎
Big CC are not much better or the same. .9-1.2
If you have to worry about the $$$ of fuel…you have no business owning one. Any fish caught on these beasts costs approx $100 to $1000 per ounce…🍭’s
I’ll stick with my Grady white 282 sailfish 😂 😅
