L x W x H (in inches) / 231 http://www.asknumbers.com/gallon-to-cubic-inches.aspx There might be a sticker on the tank which states the capacity. ------------------------- Willie She's a tired old barge but she's paid for! http://s71.photobucket.com/alb...p;current=ef324993.pbw Edited: 06/28/2012 at 05:57:01 AM by stmbtwle

No wonder I had to put some water into it to lower the back of the boat down!!! It is 3' x 3' x 8' long, almost 540 gallons!! Fred ------------------------- Yesterday was the best day of my life.....

I have all of my batteries for the solar on that side. I haven't got the gen set on board yet I am going to put it on the back corner opposite hoping it will level us out. Glad to be back on the water, will be on the lake July 2 - 7 have to go home for the 8th, two of my daughters birthday!! Hope to see you on the water!
