While the 40 is a beautiful boat, I’m surprised at the small tankage. My LF38 came stock with 105 gals of water, 35 of fuel, and a 35 gal holding tank. Nothing like the CSY44 (with 400 gals of water and 200 of fuel…), but much more than most C&C’s. Seems like you have to work pretty hard to get tankage up to spec for longer distance cruising.
