could a craft this small really hold enough fuel to make the voyage?? My
24' Baja has "only" an 80 gal fuel tank. Somehow, I don't think I'd try crossing w/ that little bit of fuel - even if I thought the boat would surviv the journey! -- G.D.Smith Harpers Ferry, WV FOR SALE: 2003 Swee****er 22' Pontoon Boat http://icanhelp56.homestead.com/gs_pontoon01.html FOR SALE: 1999 Fleetwood Mallard 37' Travel Trailer http://icanhelp56.homestead.com/Mallard002.html "Don White" wrote in message ... On the other hand...if you are bound and determined to do this...move up to the Nordica 20 or Halman 20/21. Then you have a quarter of a chance. note: both 20 footers seem fairly plentiful at $6500-8000 CDN. |

I personally know a guy who crossed the North Atlantic carrying just 12 gallons
of fuel, and it did it twice. Of course, he have a sailboat, but what the hey. could a craft this small really hold enough fuel to make the voyage?? My 24' Baja has "only" an 80 gal fuel tank.
