Considering a 215cc

[Tygh]

Well, I have already outgrown my 170cc and am looking to go with a 21ft center console. I do love my Triumph and am very interested in the 215cc.

What range are most of you getting with the 215? The tank seems slightly small compared to most other boats this size.

Tygh,

I have an '04 210 w/140 Suzuki 4S, 17P prop. I routinely get 3+ mpg. That means easy 150 mile days with the obligatory 30% reserve. Hope that helps.

My Suzuki 175 has averaged 4mpg over the first 150 hours. Thats a mix of idling, cruising, fast crusing, etc. I also run the Lowrance Fuel Management System, a $49 dollar option on their GPS/Sonar units. Since I operate in the Sacramento/San Joaquin delta, fuel pumps are never more than 5 miles away. Even so, I maintain a 15 gallon reserve.

Soooooo, 55 gallons times 4 mpg equals 220 miles.

Another thing, I've never filled the tank in the U.S. but in Mexico, if the pumps were not set WAAAAYYYY off, I actually pumped a total of 85 gallons to fill the tank to the brim.

Wow, I will need more range than that ....

Are you planning to cross the Atlantic?

[Tygh]

Not quite But, need more than 150 mile range during peak fishing season on occassion.

i've got an 01 logic with an 85 gallon tank with a johnson 140 4s that gets 3+ mpg that can be had for a song if you are interested----

btw i thought the late model triumphs had 70 gal tanks----when did they go back to 50----maybe i need to keep mine---nope-- it can be had --i need to pay the piper for all those other songs!!!!!

Geeze Tygh, thought you just picked up this rig last year? We'll, I definately understand. The Sound can get choppy.
