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

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. 

fuel should be 18g.

 

livewell use WIGuide's forumula. 

Thanks for the input

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

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 

Thank you for the info

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.

It will not have livewell size but it will have fuel capacity

Again,  info he's looking for is not on that website. If you are able to find it hats off to you. The specs for a 1995 268v on iboats do not include fuel  capacity.

So i finally got a break from the weather (wettest on record in california) and used the measuring system you told me about on my gas tank.  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.
