Just bought a 3 gallon tank to replace the defective 6.5 gallon tank for
my outboard. Should save/help in two ways...I always had a 1/2 a tank
left at the end of the season with the 6.5 gal tank and if I should run
out while on the water, using the oars should help reduce this expanding
middle that advanced age has brought on. Plus I'm finding it more and
more difficult to carry 6.5 gallons of gas down the hill to the boat
dock.

If you row in the same fashion as competitive rowers, it'll do good
things for your back muscles, and you might be able to lift a bigger gas
tank easily. :-)

Right...I'll keep that in mind. :-)

It's true! That type of rowing does more for back, shoulder & upper leg
muscles than it does for your arms. In competitive rowing, your upper arms
don't do much.
