how big of fuel tanks are most of you guys running, and about how many miles can you get on a tank?

Tank

I'm running an 85 gallon tank (standard on the 22 foot CCP) and get 2.5 to 3 miles per gallon with my old 2 cycle Merc 200.  You can do the math for range   :wink:

Not to discount those figures, but those are CCPs with deadrise... you will not have the luxury of as much room for a tank... nor will you be heading offshore as far (IMO) as a CCP.  I dropped a 60 gal in mine, and would be hard pressed to fit much more in the hull.  I think hammerhead is installing 45gals?

My 22-2 is getting a 65, moving it 14 inches forward to (help) offset the  bracket.

The guy I bought it from says my 170 has a 25-gallon tank.  Can't swear to it though :-)

They're talking flatbacks which are 222s though.
