    I do not get 1.5 mpg for sure with this drive the way it sits I used twice the gas my freind Dave used running to lees ford at aoth I used almost 80 gallons there and back with a couple high speed passes out front of Jamestown he used less than 40 and we went side by side the whole way. Might have scored a shortie today but it wont be ready for this trip These arangements will be great Cant wait. Might be bringing the 16 then it wont matter at all We shall see

    Parnell,
    The river is not too wide and very smooth. You would be fine in the 16. Hell, we went over 100 miles on Friday last year and saw maybe 5-6 other boats. No wakes and flat water. We did pass the mother of all tour boats coming into Chattanooga on Sat last year that threw a hell of a big wake, but everyone did fine. In other words, the 16 or GT would do great.

    Considering your GT is my favorite Donzi of all time, I am sure your 16 is equally as nice. Can't lose either way.
