you have 160 gallons of gas. Range depends on GPH/MPG your motors burn. For example, I have a 79 gallon tank and get on average 3 MPG, so my range is roughly 240 miles. Different sea conditions mean more or less fuel burn, also take into consideration trolling and motors running at idle while you are drifting/tied up. Use the rule of 1/3s, 1/3 to get there, 1/3 to get back, and 1/3 for when the stuff hits the fan.
