I own a 1977 Winner Family Express and trying to find out how much my water tank holds. I really do not want to start taking the peak bunk apart to measure. <br />Are there any owners of this boat that could give me an idea.

I don't mean to sound silly but couldn't you just fill it up using a gallon container or something?<br /><br />Just a thought.<br /><br />Aldo

I guess I could be the tank is somewhere between 6 and 35 gals. That is a lot of buckets.

Ahhh you could fill it and use a siphon to drain it & measure what you drain.

I've heard there are only two things in life worth doing and they both begin with 'F'. And you can't fish in the winter. :eek:

Re: Water Tank

Fill up your water tank then turn on the sink and drain it into a 5 gal bucket. Hint: cut a 3 or 4 ft section out of your neighbor's garden hose and wedge it onto your boat's faucet. Count the buckets as you pour them over the side.

a million comics out of work and you guys get a microphone.<br /><br />I was hoping that there were others out there that could have benefitted from an honest answer.
