how much do you use your stream
As I was buying oil the other day our parts guy said something to me about how much oil I had bought this summer and asked if I was buying it for side jobs. I haven't but I guess I'm on my 7th gallon of oil in my vegas. I didn't think I was using it that much but I guess I do go through about 2 tanks og gas almost every week. I think next year I will put a hour meter on it.
I just thought it might be interesting to see how much everyone else uses their boats.

Re: how much do you use your stream
Was just thinking about that this morning

Re: how much do you use your stream
I run mine every weekend. I would say this summer I have ran 20 or so tanks(21gal) and 10 or so gal of oil. Heck I ran 5 tanks just at the Cassville river run

Re: how much do you use your stream
My son and I have been using our Vulture every chance we get. I have a Merc 3.0 with a Mazco
14.5 x 26 RE on the boat. We have a 20 gal. tank and burn about a tank a day. A normal day out riding around is about four hours. Of coarse if we are wide open on the pad alot we burn more...

Re: how much do you use your stream
None yet this year LOL! Last year, it averaged out to a tank (17 gal) a weekend. If you keep your foot outa the carbs on these things you can go a long ways on a gallon of gas.

Re: how much do you use your stream
Hello everyone, just found this forum and have some reading to do!
I'm on my 7th gallon of 2 stroke also. I love touring around in this boat. Never hard to find people that want to ride also!. They all love it. For their size, on average I believe they are an amazing hull capable of many things. No wonder they get used!
