zacuda, I also have a 32 fever (2001) and was wondering about the fuel tank size. My performance report from Fountain says 80 gallons....I have put near 80 in it before and it still taking more. Anybody know what size tank that Fountain put in the 32's? Guess I could just keep pumping gas into it until its full!!! (and make the battleaxe wife pay for it!)

Got to love Smartcraft! On my 496's if it says I used 80.2 gallons, that is what I have used. No more guessing. If you have Smartcraft enabled motors, get the monitors as they are worth every penny just for the fuel burn info.

i know what you guys mean about the gas gage.my 27 had the old s/w gages on it and you could ride along way before the gage moved off of Full.when it did and you got to 1/2 you better start looking for gas.i changed the gages w/new one and the reading are more accurate.1/2 now is really 1/2.but i still do not get below1/4.i think alot of it has to do w/the angle the boat is in when on plain,verses when sitting in the water .

I've found that the gauge on my 27 moves off of full when it's down to about a half tank. Half means quarter, and at that point i'm looking to get some gas.

I have a '98 32' I am pretty sure it has a 115 gallon tank. I can't remember where I got that info from but I know I've put in over a gallons before.
