Newman 203-I/O bowrider

Anyone know any information about these Newman boats? Would love to know what the fuel tank capacity is supposed to be.

Welcome aboard:

Is the tank integrated? And still in place? My old boat was probably around 12 gal.

Yes it is intergrated, can only see the back of the tank from the engine compartment. The rest is under the floor so I can not get dimensions of it. 12 gallons is a pretty small tank isnt it?

On a 20' boat it's not so bad. I was running a straight six on that boat (1972), and burned about 2 GPH on average. That gave me six hours of run time on twelve gallons. Running a big V8 would be a little different.

My current boat runs a 4 cylinder, and my burn is more like 1.5 GPH. (but I carry almost 35 gallons now)

Thanks for the information. I appreciate your time.
