Author Topic:   Standard Fuel Tank Size

I have a 86 Revenge that I just bought. I don't have a manual for it and I checked the reference section on this site but I can't find what the standard fule tank size is supposed to be. I think I have at least a 120 gallon tank which surprised me. I filled it for the first time the other day and she took more than 100 gallons so I am thinking it's got to be around 120.

I also had some issues with water coming over the transome onto the deck consistently. The bilge was pumping it out but it was pain to have that water sloshing around. The bay was rough but this never happened before. I had four guys and gear on board but the added fuel had me sitting lower in the water. Anyone with a revenge have this issue with water?

Justin,

You can find specifications in the Reference Section.

You don't say what Revenge model you have but I suspect you have a 1980s era Revenge 22 which came with a 77 gallon fuel tank as standard equipment.

Whaler offed an optional 129 gallon tank on the 22s which eliminated the aft fishwell in the boat.

The 1978-1989 22s are notorious for wet decks because of the small splashwell design that does not capture all the water that slops over the transom.

Add a full 129 gallon tank, four guys and gear and I am sure the transom was low in the water.
