Waveblaster fuel range

Anybody know the WOT run time for a stock Waveblaster full tank of fuel?

I've never done a long distance ride on the B1, I've done it on a bunch of my other skis...not saying it would be all that comfortable, but last weekend I did a 20 mile run in rough water and it was actually kind of exhilirating and a good workout, reminded me a little bit of long distance desert racing. So I started thinking about doing a long distance ride on my B1 but I'd like to plan my gas stops first. My ski isn't stock but I think I can approximate if I knew what the "book" spec was on WOT run time.

These specs can be found in the service manual. I have the specs for a dual-carbed B1, just wondering if anyone has the specs for a single-carbed B1?

Here are the specs for a dual-carbed B1:

44mph
7.7gph @ WOT
6.6gal tank capacity
.86 hours run time at WOT
38 mile range at WOT

I won't be running WOT, my ski is single-carbed, but it does have a pipe and A/F and stuff on it, so I'm going to figure on a max of 30 miles between gas stops (although I'm much too chicken to push it that close! Probably more like 20-25 miles)

If you have the specs from the single-carbed service manual, please post them up!
