If you take trips of 60 miles or less between gas stops your ok. I hear you ao room gained. However: are tanks centered or on each side of the boat. 105 gallons of gas on one side will cause a slight list.

We always figured a gallon per hour average on the 6500. Note these genneys seem to last forever if the oil is changed regularly. Brush condition should be checked every 2 or 3 years. Pay attention to the exhaust manifold condition.
