hey do any of you guys know how big my fuel tank is in my 79 steplift. It is a single in the floor and it looks freakin huge!!! 60..75 maybe. Also, I am going to pull it to clean it ...do yall think that is a bad idea or not?It has set up for about 6 or 7 years before i got it.
Thanks

Hey Stinky. ;D
60 gallons would be the correct answer. Now........what did I win? ;D
Seriously though, it wouldn't be a bad idea to check it out thoroughly anyways. And while it is out, you might want to consider having it pressure tested to check for any leaks. That is of course if you're already planning on removing it.
Luck.

Thanks, chum..also I know there are alot of varibles, but what kinda range with a two stroke v 6 do yall get from your boats....also this is my first steplift, how well do they ride and handle rough water??

How many horse power?? I have a 175 yamaha and I can go I guess about 50 miles + with 20 gal. Thats about 2 1/2 to 3 miles per gal. Which I think is pretty good.

As far as rough water, lets just say you should not have to much a problem in anything short of a hurracaine!~!

Really I have had mine in 6 footers before and even though I don't ever want to do it again !~ I made it thur to live another day!!
You will love it!! It is a great stable platform to fish from!! I think abit to stable!~! Some times I don't relize how bad it is getting till its a bit to late and then have to fight the waves home!

Were are you from?? were do you fish from??
