Hey Ken why did you replace it?? and why did you go with such a small tank??
Most of the tanks are 60 gal !! I had to 40's till this year and now I have added a 25 gal to make a total of 65!! And I like to go off shore once or twice a year and hope this will be anough! :o

mj,
i will be useing the boat on fresh water lakes 99% of the time, for me to use up 40 to 60 gallons would take a month, this way there is always fresh fuel. with the price of gas i don't think i'll be running wot to much. i'm only a mile from launch. and the area that i will be useing the boat most ( chain o lakes ) is only about 20 miles long. i hope that is enough...... ???mostly fishing and anchoring to party with friends. it's a site to see when there 6 to 10 boats tied together, we just hop from boat to boat. party party

34" x 24" x 13" = 10,608 cubic inches / 231 cubic " per gallon = 46 gallons. ;D

46 is an odd number. Maybe less - if it has baffles, or is not a true rectangle, or those dimensions are not the inside dimensions, or all of the above. I would sell it as a 40. 8)
