At WOT, your motor will burn ~ 20 gph.

Depending on your load in the boat don't expect more than 1.5 miles per gallon on a combination of cruise and WOT.

For trip planning purposes, 10 gallons out, 10 gallons in, 10 gallons reserve. At 1.5 mpg, a 15 mile trip out and back.
You won't really know your fuel consumption until you run the boat and measure it.

A 30 gal tank is pretty small for a 21 footer. My 21' has a 63 gal tank, and my neighbors is 85 gal. However, if you only plan short trips, you can work it.
