Ed,

I burn about 10.5-11 gph at cruise. I have done 5 overnight trips without a genny, and I think I have burned 140 gal tops.

Here is another good factoid. I ran the boat from Mystic, CT to Gloucester, drove around all weekend, and ran back to Mystic, on 190 gallons. Yeesh! Saddle tanks? What saddle tanks!

I would try to push it a little at a time, and worst case, depending on what exactly you mean by "the canyon" you will figure out your range. You should not have a problem, but you will want to be sure.

My trips were all 100-120 miles out, so I did a pretty good distance.

You will love the engines. That is for sure!
