Anyone with an AR250 get an accurate max range on a full tank of gas?

No idea but I would estimate at least 125 miles.

@HangOutdoors are you just curious or is there a developing plot here?

No plot as of yet, just some thoughts.

After 22 hours our lifetime average is 2.0mpg for our 2022 AR250. The caveat is that I'm... throttle happy. I would say that a quarter of that, if not more, is WOT. At least a few are also no wake zone at 3-5mph. Bimini is always up as well which I'm sure adds some drag. We have zero time towing a tube/wakeboard/skier at the moment. I believe I've averaged 2.4 or 2.5mpg while cruising around 30mph.

I've done 125 in a single day in my 21 SX250 with the bimini up, occasionally flat out, but generally around 35 mph when not in no wake zones. I was showing slightly under 1/4 tank left, and I put 50 gallons in afterwards.

Total distance on a tank of fuel can be a relative term and variable due to current, wind (going with or against for both), how much weight is in the boat (including people), and also elevation if on a lake). For example on Lake Tahoe, without even touching the throttles, if the wind changes on a given course, I've seen it affect my speed by as much as 5mph - and that's with the Bimini up and 5-6 people on board. On my current tank, the computer is telling me about 2.2mpg at 6200 feet of elevation.
