Last weekend at the boat show I got asked what the capacity of the livewell is and I didn't have an answer for him. I know that it is 52" long but how many gallons does it hold? Thanks!!

Volume of a cube = side x side x side
1 cubic inch = .004 gallons

it's too cold and snowy to go out and measure mine, but if we assume...

roughly a 10" depth and 10" width, then we get:
52" x ~10" x ~10" = 5200 cubic inches = ~22.5 gallons

roughly a 10" depth and 8" width, then we get:
52" x ~10" x ~8" = 4160 cubic inches = ~18.01 gallons

roughly a 12" depth and 10" width, then we get:
52" x ~12" x ~10" = 6240 cubic inches = ~27.01 gallons

if you say "around" 25 gallons, you're probably in the neighborhood.

lol...mine is too.
it's the walk between the house and the garage that's no fun!
i love snow, and i love the winter, but i'm ready to be done with shoveling already.

Walk? I just open the door from the kitchen hallway, and I am in the Tuffy Hanger.

Maybe, but we're much smarter, and warmer, than you detached types!
