fuel tank capacity

[superheat216]

Just got my 1993 250 explorer home and starting to outfit it for the beginning of west coast dungeness season and noticed it has two seperate tanks, aux and main.  Does anyone know the capacity of each, 1993 sales lit sez 170gal total.

I have a good friend that has one and if I remember correctly it has a 140 gal main and an optional 30 gal in the front.  He put a 50 gal fresh water in the optional place (he worked at the facility when it was being built - so he modified on the fly).
I emailed him to double check. I'll post what he says.
You'll like that boat - without strakes it is a little "rocky" in some seas but slices through the waves very nicely (unless they are 6 ft like I've been out in it with him).
