Ernie Martin is an unknown quantity at this point
I don't have an E but I had a D, now have a G, and examined the parts manual for the E to prepare this reply to point 1: If the aircraft has two filler caps in each wing and the fuel selector valve for each engine has a stop for auxiliary tank, then yes, it has 128 gallons (see image for tank placards).

2. I feel comfortable with 20 knots (most of the islands I fly to have a single runway, so I'm forced to do lots of crosswind landings). A friend with many more Skymaster hours than me is comfortable with 25.

3. 2000 hours for my normally aspirated. I go to 25/25 at about 500 ft and leave the throttle there until the descent, so at cruise MF may be as low as 19; I normally lower RPM to 23 or 24 when I get to cruise altitude.
