With the one liter on-board tank, I get 1.25 hours at around 5 MPH ( I got the GPS set on MPH rather thank Knots) so I get just over 6 miles on a tank with 3.8 tanks peer gallon. Probably a little more if I slowed it down a little. I bought 3 gallons this year and uses one of them on the famous BEER cruise with the trailer sailors. so 28 MPG is probably right. I vote for the Hohda. its air-cooled (no flushiing in water tanks) and weighs 28 lbs ( I keep it in the shed at home to keep it from being stolen) so its easy to carry and mount. No water pump of shifter to fail. ALWAYS starts. Don in Mobile ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

Re: M_Boats: worst conditions to take an m15

I don't know what the limit is, I've had Sweet Dream out in the bay in 18 - 25 several times with a reef and the 110 up, closehauled into 3 - 4 ft chop for some fairly long runs (20 miles). cockpit dry, a little spray in the face. I did have the companionway slats in though. I never though about dropping the sails and firing up the trusty Honda. The only difficulty is fighting down the sails when single handed in that kind of sea. I've tryed heaving too but it seems to work better to drop the jib first, then pull the main down most of the way, sling a couple uf bungie balls around it and head to the dock to clean the sails up.
