I'm not sure about the bigger boats but my 78 CD25 has a 30 gal water tank. I always keep it full because I need the 250 pounds of weight up forward.

As I recall, the tank in our former boat, a CD 25 (not the "D" inboard), held 22 gals.

The 30' has 2 35 gallon tanks under the settees -- I wish they were forward to better balance the boat.

wrong, any ballast needs to be in the center of the boat, ie, anchors, dinghy motors, preferably over the center of the keel

My 1981 CD 30, hull number 183, has two 30 gallon water tanks beneath each settee in the main salon, plus a 6 gallon hot water heater.

My CD36 has 43 gals under the starbord settee, 24 under the berth in the forepeak and 24 under the quarterberth. Makes for interesting balance problems when setting off for a cruise. Some 36s have different arrangements.
