Wiesman are very interesting! Looking forward to hearing more results.

X-Power also are interesting!

Arneson are proven

Nothing wrong with a 3,4,5,or 6!

How about pics of your boat? By looking at your posts youre all over the place and claim to have a 42 cig with diesels and it holds 400 gallons of fuel. I have a 42 tiger and if i put 400 gallons of anything i would be up to my ankles and it would be sloshing around. Awful darr-ish with your posts.

what size are your tank(s) my boat holds 314 gallons. 400 doesn't sound crazy for a 42 boat.

The early cig 42/tigers only have 2- 110 gallon tanks. The later ones are only 100 per side as the little add on section for the additional 10 gal caused cracking and leaks. I know most of the 42s and never heard of one that held that much fuel... the 42 evolutions may have had saddle tanks but there were only 4 of them made.

So I guess you have to get fuel pretty often, I'm surprised they didn't build them with more capacity.

That would be depending on the power and use, i generally put 75 gallons per side each weekend, just depends on where im running to.
