AndrewJ Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 I have a 1995 Stratos 268V. I am trying to determine how large the livewells and gas tank are. Does anyone happen to know how large both are? Also, does anyone know where I can find an owners manual for it. I have been searching the web without any luck. Thanks, Andrew Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted February 9, 2017 Super User Posted February 9, 2017 You can figure out volume without finding the specs. The conversion equation to calculate how many gallons will fit in a rectangle is (length x width x height)/231. Remember when you measure height of the livewell, you'll only measure to the height of the overflow since the livewell won't fill up any higher. 1 Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted February 9, 2017 Super User Posted February 9, 2017 fuel should be 18g. livewell use WIGuide's forumula. 1 Quote

So when I measure, do i convert into feet, or keep it in inches? Quote

Nope, keep it in inches. 231 cubic inches = 1 gallon, so you're finding the total number of cubic inches and then converting that to gallons 1 Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted February 10, 2017 Super User Posted February 10, 2017 Stratos 268V - First "new" bass boat I ever bought ? This was back in 1991. Kept a lot of paperwork around for years, but likely don't have it still sitting around. I'll look. That said, front livewell was about 11 gallons and the rear was 22-23 gal. I also want to say the fuel cap. was around 18 gal. Remember carrying spare fuel with me in the boat for long runs on the Ohio R. Had it rigged with a Johnson GT100, LOWRANCE in-dash flashers both front and console along with an Eagle Mach I paper graph. -T9 Quote

If you are able to find it hats off to you. The specs for a 1995 268v on iboats do not include fuel capacity. http://boatspecs.iboats.com/Stratos_Boats__268_V__1995/bp/66b89624 Quote

Turns out iabass was correct, it is an 18 gallon tank. I didnt try it on my live wells yet, but thank you again for the information. 1 Quote
