    As a Platinum Contributor you have access to the Promotional Brochures in the Original Mariah section. Open up or download the 1998 brochure, find your boat & it will state your fuel capacity.

    My boat is advertised as holding 80 gallons, but I actually ran it out a few weekends ago (long story) and when I filled it up, It only held 70. I'm assuming because of the angle of the boat on the trailer, there was still air toward the front of the tank.

    thats why I typically run it to 1/4 tank, then put in 60 gallons at a time. not to mention, if you fill it up, your carrying all the weight around too.

    i actually just discovered mine today...i took the two screws out on a small panel right in front of the engine compartment and it lifted up to show the fuel tank and on there was a "plaque" that states the model number fuel capacity year built and all that jazz...mine however is only 30 gallons but from what i hear with everyone else having 80 or 125 gal im starting to feel better about that ha
