Gas Mileage or running time?

[buenodude]

I have a 15hp Honda 4-stroke on a 13 foot Achilles inflatable. Does anyone know how much running time or mileage I will get out of 5 gallons of gas?

This is a rough ball park because many factors effect economy.<br />@1.5 gallons per hour @ 5000 rpm

If you are going fishing for a whole weekend, you will have gas left over at the end of your trip!

If you've only got one tank, I would recommend purchacing a 1 gallon plastic gas jug, and hide it in the boat so you have a little reserve if needed.<br />Everyother trip, after loading, pour the 1 gallon gas in main tank and refill to keep gas fresh in your "reserve".
