Does anyone know what size fuel tanks these boats were fitting with as standard? I think about 90L but as I push wider & wider I would like know for sure.

Don't want to run it dry or empty it out if I can help it, easier just to ask you blokes;D

Cheers

Thanks ML, Might be 85 litre then....

That article is very confusing, it's dated March 2012 but Southern Star ceased around 2008 and Logan river marine ceased in 2011....I have a feeling this article actually pre dates 2004 when southern star took over manufacturing from southwind....jees they hold their value;D
