Answer 6

Generally speaking, manufacturers install a fuel tank that is large enough for a day's use. However, this does not mean that the boat can be run at 100% power all day long without going through the whole tank. Marine engines should be run at 70% throttle for cruising, maximum. the faster you go, the faster the gas goes. 100% power will give 100% speed, and will go through a tank of gas very quickly.

I don't know what a 23 Outlaw is, but don't run it at top end, unless it is a real emergency. It is like throwing fuel overboard.
