Fuel tank capacity

What was the typical fuel capacity of a 1982 Marinette 37 Sedan. I have searched all those for sale and the fuel capacity was never listed. Also, displacement. I did find two with 11,000 lbs, which seems low for a 37 foot boat, but maybe that is an advantage of Aluminum. All my previous boats were fiberglass.

My 32' had two 75 gal tanks and the 37's may have had larger tanks. The weight is probably accurate since the 32's were listed around 10K lbs

My 37' sedan/flybridge has two tanks also, can't remember the size. She weighs 16,500. The weight I know from the shipping paperwork from transporting it by truck.

Javalin 390, was the 16,500 lbs with some fuel, water, misc., stuff for boating, or was it clean out with very little fluids? Trying to get an idea of weight when ready to go fishing so I can do a calculation on speed using twin 330 Cummins diesels. Thanks

well you used the magic "C" word....now you have to show us pictures. I seem to remember the 37's having something like twin 120 gallons tanks or so. Ill look it up.
