Quick question about 86 23'

[Zack1121]

How's it going I am interested in a 86 23' and the guy I have been chatting with back and fourth doesn't remember how much fuel it holds he is an older fella and he was guessing 70gallons does anyone know how many gallons they hold factory and is there anything I shoould look for other than a soft transom and soft floor?

Is the tank and motor original?

[Zack1121]

I believe it is original tank the motor is a Honda 225 four stroke

I had an '85 scepter and it had an aluminum 144 gl. tank.

BTW, I had plans to replace it with two tanks, an 80 and a 50 or something in that category. I simply did not use enough fuel on a typical day out fishing to warrant having 140 gl. in the tank and I liked keeping my tanks full; less condensation!

Our 1986 23CC holds 136 gallons.

Thanks for the advice guys I'll keep you posted if it all works out tomorrow

I have a 1986 23 Sceptre, original tank with a capacity of 123 gallons.

Looks like what the tank holds and the tank's capacity are two different things.(70 gal)

My 89 20 was 70.

For a Potter era outboard powered Septre, 100 gallons is what's in the specs, 72 gallons for an I/O.
