60gal

Uncle Dave

Thats a joke for a "29" foot boat. You cant go anywhere with 60 gallons.

My Lavey 2750 has a 100 gallon tank.

West Coast 21's come with 50's !

The Lavey 24 has an 80 gallon tank.

You said 27 not 29, and a 27 has a 60gal tank. I can go 100+mi on 60gal. Is what it is...

29' Fountain 140 gal. tank.

Uncle Dave

Actually I said the 27 has a 50 gallon tank and I was off by 10 gallons. That still quite small for a "27". I knew it had a pretty small tank.

My question was what does the 29 have?

Curious
When you say you can go 100+ miles
Is that in the Ocean against waves and currents or on a lake?

Ok 140 is more like it.
Question was answered after I posted- thanks RW
Lavey 29 hold 150.

Both. Have made several trips along the gulf coast just offshore and inland. I didn't say balls to the wall, but I've done it a few times.

That might work for full displacement trawlers but for planing boats at what speed or drive settings?

Not talking about a moving boat. Just a way to measure the wetted waterline length excluding swim platforms and bows.
Actually on plane at speed our type boats have what, 3 or 4 feet of hull contacting the water ?

My swim touches the water sitting still! LOL

Realy I think it is stupid that if your platform is bolted on you don't count it but it moulded you do.

Just measure transom to bow IMO.

Mine does at times also !
