At 5 knots, that should give him a range of 175 miles.

That sounds like what I said, doesn't it?

I must have been wrong when I thought that you were disagreeing with me.


My only other contribution to this thread was pointing out that you had
flawed
conversion for Imperial to US gallons, ironically while you were accusing
Scotty
of being "mathematically challenged."

I've accused Scotty of much worse ... and he's lived to tell the tale!

I've accused you of much less, and you've reacted like a big girl's blouse!






I think everyone is in agreement that 12 gallons, US or Donal sized,
should be
enough for a 100 mile trip, but Scotty should still be cautious, since he
has
not verified the fuel usage of his boat, or the true size of the tank.

So, my little mathematical error is of no consequence???? We all agree that
a bit of spare fuel would be useful.
