I have a 6 gallon gas tank, and my outboard sips gas. Do any of y'all have a 3 gallon tank for sale, or would like to trade for my 6 gallon one? I'm in Rockport, but wander to Corpus now and then. This probably belongs in Classifieds, but nobody reads there. TexasJim

Only fill the existing one 1/2 way up?!?!
Or know you've got plenty of reserves with the 6 gallon option?
(At least you don't have quad 350's on the stern and they don't simply 'sip').... Cool

I like to keep my tanks full, so I don't tend to get any moisture. I also use only non-ethanol gas. Three gallons would work good for me, and it would lighten the load in the stern of my tin flats skiff by almost twenty pounds. My Yamaha 15 4-stroke is stupid heavy. Just thought someone might like to double their capacity. If I don't find anyone to swap with, I'll just buy a new one, and sell my biggie. Stay warm! TexasJim

Jim, I getwhat you are saying. A few months back I down graded to a new 14’ Jon boat with a 15 hp mercury. I specifically specified a 3 gallon tank. Heck, on my Mako ProSkiff w/40hp Mercury I do not remember ever burning more than 3 gallons fishing all day. Take care…..Smokey 😎

Hey, Smokey: Is the ramp still closed? Sure would be nice to launch there when the tides are higher next month on........TexasJim

10/4, still closed. I understand that is in litigation with the county and the contractor. I really wonder if it will ever be open worth a hoot in my life time. Oh well, I have my work around now. If I ever get an update, I will post up. Take cat……..Smokey
