MY RIDE IS A 18 FT KEY LARGO CC WITH A 90 HP 4 BANGER YAMI … I USUALLY CRUISE AT APPROX 5000 RPM WITH A SPEED OF ABOUT 27-30 MPH… GIVEN THAT THESE STATS ARE APPROX AND MY FUEL LOAD IS 35 GALS , WHAT SHOULD BE THE BALL PARK RANGE UNDER GOOD SEA CONDITIONS AND CURRENT GENERALLY SPEAKING???

Key West site should have a Yamaha bulletin for fuel burn on your boat.
My KW 19 with Yamaha F115 burned approximately 3 Gal/hour overall.
I thought the gauge was inoperative.

Sorry, read subject as KW not Key Largo.
Try the Yamaha site and look for your boat and motor.

I’ve always figured 3-4 mpg with that size engine/boat.
That’ll give you a total range of 105-140 miles using all 35 gallons.
But figuring you want to be back at the hill with at least 1/4 tank of gas, your total range on a good day might be only 75-100 miles. If it’s rough or you’re in current it might be less.
