We generally consider our average displacement to be 110,000 lbs, which would be around 800 gallons of fuel. We had 600 aboard at the last haulout.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-68123612314263768302017-04-20T17:00:05.299-04:002017-04-20T17:00:05.299-04:00Answered you on FB, Richard.Answered you on FB, Richard.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-78807786705109664042017-04-20T15:35:34.227-04:002017-04-20T15:35:34.227-04:00I'd never thought about having fuel on board w...I'd never thought about having fuel on board while you were hauled out. But your mention of taking on fuel made me think that must be an aweful lot of extra weight for the slings to have to take into account when being hauled out. Very interesting! <br /><br />Thanks Mike FerrellMike Ferrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709762499602245290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-42337124076017203352017-04-20T00:05:50.118-04:002017-04-20T00:05:50.118-04:00 Would really like to hook up with two of my favor...
