[Sentoa] Forward water tank in 32

[Charles E. Billings]

Dave Quist asked:   
        Does anyone know how many gallons of water is held in the bow tank of hull #3  32' NT?
    I can't speak for hull #3, but the specifications sheet for 32-057 (1991) specified "two 50 gallon tanks (P & S under the saloon) with an additional 20 gallon tank forward of the forward engine room bulkhead, for a total of 120 gallons".   The forward tank was compromised when the bow thruster was installed in 2005, so is no longer useable.
    If the tank in 32-057 was 20 gallons, I would imagine a forward tank in any 32 would be the same....I can't imagine one any larger since the tank in 32-057 filled the entire void beneath the forward cabin floor.
