CNY, I have been going around the boat with a screwdriver tightening things up and decided to remove the floor panel over the fuel tank. Mine says 29 gallons on the manufacturer's sticker.
The Sea Ray spec sheet for my 1993 200 Overnighter OB states the boat has a 30 gallon HDPE fuel tank. When I was getting the boat ready today I cleaned off the top of the fuel tank and the manufacturer's sticker stated the tank was a 32 gallon aluminum (5052) fuel tank. It's the original fuel tank because the date of manufacture is April 1993. I'm happy about the extra 2 gallons but would prefer an HDPE fuel tank. 5052 aluminum has good corrosion resistance but HDPE will never corrode.
I'm also disappointed that the Sea Ray spec sheet was not correct. It seems that Sea Ray used a variety of fuel tanks in the 200 series. Anyone else have a fuel tank that does not match the spec sheet?
