Since my sweetwater pontoon does not have a gas guage I am learning to watch the tank and how fast I am going.
So far I see at wot I have a decent speed but my fuel burn is very very high.
At half throttle or below great fuel burn but really slow speed in my 18 foot boat.
25hp Tohatsu and 6 gallons of gas at wot does not last long.

What else would you expect from a little engine working its behind off running WFO
I've got a 60 on our 18 and I'm wishing I would have bought something bigger like an 75 or 80 HP
But I absolutely love that I've got a 32 gallon tank hanging under the boat in the motor pod; this boat has a seriously long set of legs....
If I were running on such a small tank like you are I'd not so much as leave the dock without a 2nd 6 gallon tank on board..

The 25Hp was what came with it. But I am in the process of adding another tank.
Its actually a bit peppy at WOT
