Some of the CO -300's have bit more range............and those are the aircraft for the most part getting the winglets, they have rafts and the low end IFE's! Range.....gosh, like to say 2,200 NM but not sure of that, just a guess.

Note that with maximum fuel and no payload, the -300 and -500 have almost identical range (with equivalent fuel capacity option), and the -400 range is a couple of hundred of miles less. All 3 models have 3 optional fuel capacities.

I know the Braathens SAFE (now part of SAS, sadly) B737-500 flew 125 pax nonstop Oslo-Canary islands for years. That's a 5h45min flight stretching 4,100km and they were great flights with excellent inflight service. How I miss those days...
The Braathens B737-400 could reach the Mediterranean destinations from Oslo with 156 pax.

737-300 does Manchester-Las Palmas-Manchester non stop every Saturday, which is a 1700nm leg. Range is pretty good on the 300, the 400 does have range limitations when full. A particular airline flying Cyprus-UK a few years ago with the 400 was restricted with a full load.

Didn't US have some 737-400 aircraft with additional fuel tanks? These aircraft flew CLT-SFO, CLT-LAX, PIT-LAS, etc. if my memory serves me correctly.

Yep. Auxiliary fuel tanks were an option for the 737-300 and -400. Not sure if they offered them on the -500, although they would work there too.
