Check that again. I believe the main tank is closer to 150 and the side tanks are around 25 each. I am just getting my boat together and put about 20 gallons each and it is showing 3/4 of a tank. Mike

Also mine has a 4th tank under the seat that holds another 50 gal. Of course I could have a 100 gallons of gas last 3-4 trips to the river with the driving I did on my last boat (31' Scarab). So that 50 gallons is important

Thanks Mike. I think you are probably the closest to the actual capacity. I found it really crappy that the tech at Wellcraft couldn't even give me te exact figures. I gave him the hull ID # and he knew everything about this particular boat except how much each tank held...
The best thing he said to do was to check the inspection plates that are on the tanks. I guess I will go that route when we get the boat in our possesion.
At least I have a basic idea now.
Thanks again guys for all the input.

Captnchuck..... you actually got Wellcraft to talk to you about your boat? I remember when I called them about my Scarab they didn't know anything and could not help me on any parts. Maybe Wellcraft hired someone who knew where the records and things like that are.

I called and asked to speak to a tech and they put a gentleman on the phone. I gave him the HIN and he pulled it up in less than a minute. He told me everything about the boat. He knew everything about it. He even knew the date on which the boat was purchased.
He told me things about it that the seller didn't even know.
I called this number.... 1800-755-1099. I want to say the guys name was Ron but don't hold me to it.
Good luck bro,
Chuck

Capt chuky...Just for the record, I told you each side tank is 25 gallons, and the main center tank is 150gallons. You can only run on one tank at a time. The fuel manifold will not evenly draw from all tanks if more then one valve is open.
good luck. No boat rides as nice as a 38' Scarab!
