Nice rig!  I grew up fishing out of a 22 ft. proline wac.  Last year, I bought a 1993 proline wac to fish the gulf with and I am in love with this thing.  One thing that I was wondering is the fuel capacity.  I am running a single outboard.  I have done numerous web searches, forum searches, but to no avail.  Also, where did you find those rod boxes?

Best Regards

if it is like mine I have always figured it was about 70 gallons. Maybe someone else can be exact. I have never got more than 70 so I figure its around there.

Well, then mine should be the same, I would guess.  Same year, model, etc.  I don't usually burn more than 30 gallons at a time, so I have never had to completely fill it up.  Also, how about those rod boxes?  Can't find them anywhere!

pull the access cover plate near the sending unit , round plastic circle in deck normally
get flashlight and look around for heavy duty sticker or engraved plate.
It will say capacity,  + perhaps mfr, metal thickness , test pressure,date of fabrication.

this  and very similar questions come up a lot and most guys have found the plate if they looked into the deck hole.
but there is always the exception.

One of the guys may be able to post a photo of where theirs is.

good luck.

To anyone else that may need to know:  I opened the deck plate closest to the cabin, and there beside where the fill line enters the tank was a nameplate.  It states that the fuel capacity is 100 gallons. (along with wall thickness, etc.)
