I have the exact size motor and same year. Great motor, uses very little gas. Its so quiet when i stop to drift fish with the current you can't hear it running. I am 100% sold on Mercury this is my second one, the first was a 40 and never had an issue. Thanks for video.
Sips gas it holds 20 gallons and I have driven it over 4 hours and the gas didn't really budge from full. So it should last several days no problem with one tank
