How Many Miles Will One Gallon Of Gas Take You On A Solo Skiff!? | 6HP Suzuki Outboard 

Love this video. A clear demonstration that is beautiful in its simplicity. You’ve made me really miss the water! Subscribed! Also... definitely a good idea to keep using ethanol free gas, I use it in my cars too! Makes a huge difference

Glad it was helpful!

Which fb group? My solo will be in this week I’d like to join.

Yeah should be able to! I've never gone more than 15 miles in one trip.

I need to look into that. How do you like yours?

@@StixHD sorry, forgot to check if you replied. I really like the tiller extension, it makes standing and steering much easier. I also have the tilt tied into a switch on the end of the extension so I can adjust that on the fly.

Appreciate it! Here's a rough estimate of how much I've spent on it: Skiff: $2000 6HP Suzuki: $1500 Tags and Title: $200 Accessories: $300 Total: $4000 A lot of the accessories I already had since I owned a kayak previously (paddle, push pole, rod holders). All I had to buy were the H-rail and H-rail accessories, track mounts for the rod holders, and a stake out stick. It's great value for the price. I had always wanted a peddle drive kayak but they are so expensive nowadays. I figured if I spent an extra grand I could get the skiff and open up way more water but still go in skinny water. It drafts in about 3"-4"

@@StixHD Total = same money for just a Bote Rover (no motor). I am really leaning towards getting one of these because my Bote Rover has turned brown and the fake wood decals are delaminating from leaving it under one of those carports. I paid $3500 for that thing and used it twice, I am very disappointed. I checked one of these out and they seem much more durable.

@@rmpbrown01 yeah Rover is way more expensive. Also solo skiff switched manufacturing companies and they were hit with a price increase. I believe they are around $2,500 now for the skiff only.

Actually it kinda sucked... haha 2 hrs straight of just reaching back holding the motor. The sunset was nice tho.

@@StixHD ya, you need a tiller extension for sure. We made one in the shop out of pvc for a small jon boat. I like just cruising, but I guess it's different in the skiff

@@billpattillo9597 Yeah if I would have had the tiller extension it would have been WAY better lol

Thanks man!

You're welcome lol

It’s an app called fishing points.

I'm not sure honestly I don't think it would make a difference. Maybe if you are going against the tide it would be slower. I was in a saltwater river... kinda confusing I know. lol The river normally doesn't have any flow and is affected very minimal by the tides. 3 gallons is a lot of fuel. The smaller outboards are pretty efficient on gas. Not sure how far you plan on going but I'm sure 1 gallon can last you most of the day.

@@StixHD well I bring one container. Some days I just like to cruise around. Check out some camp sites, or explore more of the lake. It's 780 acres of water. And this is my 1st boat and the 2.6 is awsome. Love the jonny bass boat. Be safe bro thanks..

@@anthonyvespia6662 nice that’s a big lake! Appreciate it man. Stay safe as well!

Saltwater is denser than freshwater, therefore increases drag on the vessel.

ye he did say

You’re gonna have to fuel up a few times bro

Only thing kills a canoe for me, is the self bailing feature of the solo

@@zombiehunter374 meh

The brand is Speckled Truth and you can google their name and the shop should come up. They have a facebook and instagram page also and you can find it there. They just got some of these hats in and they sell out pretty quick.

Truchador is on FB it's a brand name owned by a good friend of mine and hes a firefighter.
