    We put an offer in on the above boat and getting conflicting reports about capacity. It has 3 tanks. Two outboard of the motors and one under the aft. Bunk. Some say it’s 400 gal. Total some say 500 gal. Any ideas ? I wasn’t able to read the outboard labels on the tanks.

    Your surveyor has (or should have) this data.

    The Powerboat Guide says 400 fuel, 160 water, 60 waste.

    Standard 350-hp (gas) Crusaders, optional 375-hp Cats. Maybe that means the diesels were 3208s?

    Was the Uniflite 42 Double Cabin from '71 through '84.

    Engine room fuel tanks are 150 gallons each. The belly tank underneath the master stateroom berth is 95 gallons (usually rounded to 100).
