How Can Can a FishPro Go On a Single Tank of Fuel: The Watercraft Journal Ep. 123

- Опубликовано: 19 апр 2023
- Sea-Doo's own Tim McKercher pushes a 2022 Sea-Doo FishPro Trophy to the very edge by documenting how far a naturally-aspirated Rotax 1630 ACE can go on a single tank of 87 octane! You WILL NOT believe the mileage this ST3-hulled machine gets when set in ECO mode the entire time.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time and money to do this. It was really informative. So, 114 nautical miles in 4.2 hours on an 18.5 gallon tank, you got 6.16 NM/gal with an average speed of 27.14 NM/hour. That's really useful information for trip planning.
Biggest point here actually, is that running it out of gas will still work after refueling it
That information should be available in the specifications. But for all of the long distance claims, know where can I find the range. Which makes me think that if they had something to boast about they would have done it, but since they do not specify the range on a vehicle that is supposed to go long distance it means that there's nothing special about that range, and it's probably not worth spending $20,000 on.
i would love to see more range videos on other seadoo models. good video
Finally, somebody makes a video worth watching! The background music was perfect.
Not bad at all!! That is about 210km from a 75-liter fuel tank = 2.8km per liter. You mentioned "real world conditions", but that depends on your area and what you are doing with the ski. Your water seemed to be very nice and flat most of the way. It just goes to show what weight and water conditions can do to fuel consumption. In real world offshore fishing conditions (Australia) for me, I average about 1.2 - 1.6 km per liter (depending on the type of fishing), which will give me 48-65 nautical miles to the tank. Bear in mind that this is loaded with fishing gear, 2 people, and a set of fishing tubbies fitted to the sides. Because of this, I have added the additional 40 liter "long range" fuel tank to extend my distance to 75-100 nautical miles on my ski. But a good test/video to establish a base line!!
awesome information U did, I live in Korea and my name is John. whenever I rode my fishpro 170, I had a curiosity how I could go with full tank. Today, I watched your beautiful Journal and I really appreciated with your useful experience in spite of spending time and gas. Thank you Tim.
High speed Quality Mph Jet 🎿 Sea Doo RX260 and RX300 mostly expensive then Kawasaki Ultra 310LX and GP1300 🌊 runner YAMAHA .
So the Explorer Pro 170 should be about the same. Thank you for taking the time resources to make this video.
How far into ocean, not next to coast lines? So tell us how far into ocean?
Pretty damn good! Great job Tim, appreciate you sharing that information. I can only imagine imagine how many people wanted that information. Very very useful!
A great video, nicely documented. I was planning on doing a similar thing on Lake Erie (fresh water) with my GTX 170
This is a really good video. I’ve been wondering the same. It would be great if you guys could get a few of the models together and do a range shootout between models (170’s, 230’s and 300’s) using this same track to see the differences between engine sizes and models.
The right kind of video, very informative! Thanks
Excellent job, looking at ordering one. Additional fuel sell is a must, cheers.
very well shot and edited ! And great music as well. I'm planning to get a Fishpro Trophy and this was very informative. Thanks for your time !
Great video, great topic. Thanks
Well done!
Awesome information thank you. I just purchased 2 of these.
Fantastic. I just bought one and this will give me confidence to go further.
