The only thing I don't like is
where the owner says he's using a full tank of gas in only 20 miles.

Sounds entirely plausible. A 50 hp outboard burns about 5 gals per
hour. At that rate the 6 gallon tank goes an hour and 12 minutes.

As an FYI, we have cruised 750 miles in the last 6 days, with about
600 of that offshore. We saw our first Mac today, well inland in the
South Carolina ICW.
