trying to figure out what the fuel capacity and fuel tank design and material is on my 1988 Reinell 173E?

im guessing about 30 gallons but wondering if its a fiberglass or aluminum tank?

thanks!

there is no inspection cover Scott, just a wood deck that's fiberglassed over.... hoping to find another Reinell 173E owner who has the owners manual...

Owner's manual won't likely tell you. They're typically not a detail item about the boat as much as they are a safe operating guide to boating in general. Probably doing a fill up is the best indicator if you can't physically get to it.
