I'm in the Biloxi area, not too far from you. I recently purchased a 26x that is already setup to sail. I have contemplated removing the mast and sails, but I'm on the fence. What fuel tanks do you have? I know you carry some extra fuel. How far can you make it motoring at 5-6 knots? I have a 60 Yamaha 4-stroke on my boat. I will be upgrading my fuel tanks for certain. Currently only have one 6-gallon tank.
Hello! I have two 9 gallon tanks that fit under the seats but needed to have some material removed to get them in. I also carry two 5 gallon cans when going any distance. I get very close to 20 miles with 9 gallons with my 50hp 2-stoke going at about 7 knots. I know, not too good. A four stoke should get way better mileage. You will have a blast with the boat, have a great summer! Check out my other videos and Thanks for watching!
@@ChristopherQuest Wow that is really good to know and much better than I expected. I know the waters tend to be shallow around the coast, but motoring allows you to stay relatively close in shallow waters (couldn't do that with the centerboard down). If you have any issue cellular service is easy and the dinghy can get you to shore. You're living the dream brother!
@@Joes_Crypto_Connection Gosh, I just see this message - sorry for the late reply.You hit all the best parts of the Intracoastal Waterway boating. Some good points. Thanks for the nice comment and for watching!
Very cool and fun to watch. I like the cutting board tip! I always learn something from your videos. Thank Chris.
Hello Dave, lucky I didn't crash the scooter! Upcoming - I will be the first beachcomber! Thanks again for watching!
Cheeseburger in paradise: you're killing it my friend... 🙂

Oh, I should also add I was pulling a dingy which hurts mileage a lot, but I always bring a dingy. Thanks!

@@ChristopherQuest One more question. Are you running with the ballast full or empty?
