Can't find it listed in the documentation stuff  (shows tank but not size) but it does list a 40 gal. fresh water tank so I'd imagine the black water tank would be about the same, maybe 10/15 gals. less. :scratch:

EDIT: Here's an ad showing a 25 gal holding tank.

And one showing a replacement at 30 gal. and another at 25 gal.

And one at 18 gal.

A 25 gallon holding tank is pretty big for that size boat.  Water for a marine toilet is often raw water, not fresh water, so you don't use up the good water in the toilet where you just make it bad.  

I would think 12-18 gallons would be adequate, assuming a low-volume toilet (around 1 pint of water per flush typical - more if needed).

Thanks. I plan to use a 6 pack charter fishing boat so I was hoping for something larger than 12 gallons. Thanks

Thanks for all the links. I looked at all them.  I had it measured for a 12 gallon tank but I was hoping for a bigger tank. Thanks again.
