Bilge Capacity

I just purchased an O'Day 27, 1977. Does anyone know the capacity of the bilge?

No, but curious...why do you need to know that number?

You could always fill it up then pump it out to measure...

Isn't that what 5 gallon buckets are made for?

To answer the question, it's easily 15 gallons on my boat. and that's just to the float switch level.

Thanks for the solutioin. I just launched and was taking on water. I live a half hour away so i was trying to determine the maximum amount of time I could wait before heading back out. Problem has been solved but I still want to know.

Now that's not what I was thinking...so you wanted to know how fast you were taking on water...I hate those kind of math problems.
