bait tank size 52c

[Regal2800]

does anyone know how many gallons is the bait tank on the a 52c? My model is 1988, but im sure the other models are also the same. I am trying to size the pump and i am not at the boat to measure how many gallons the tank is. The tank is the factory tank on the left side of the boat.

I use the one on the right, bait freezer for some. It is about 25 gal where I have my overflow set. Just FYI, I could not get any of the centrifugal bait pumps to effectively move enough water up there(mounted by ac pump on its own thru-hull). I ended up having to go to a wash down pump. It works fine.

So you abandoned the tank on the left and used the freezer box on the right? Thats a nice idea...

how many GPH is the pump? How long does the bait last in the tank on the right side?

My left side is setup as a cabinet. I keep lead in the bottom and tackle bags in the top. I think the pump is 5 gal/min. I have been able to keep pinfish/spots, white bait, greenies, pogies and mullet without issue. We do not live bait that much so I just assume have out of the way rather than taking up prime real estate.
