Depends where you are no?

Thanks all, it must be a 70 Gallon, judging by the fuel use, fill ups, and the fact that the Merc 225 says it is burning 10G/hour at 4200RPM. That would give a comfortable day of fishing on a full tank.

Gofastsandman, You are correct. I just recall a few times being on vacation and other long trips where we used every bit of the full 70 gallon tank. In general, motors are a bit more efficient today though………good luck ric8138!
