My original tank was made by Kracor. I just went through this exercise last season. The kracor tank for my boat is still available from Kracor but they wanted $700 plus shipping .. and shipping to Canada would have been over $100. Ok. Next option?
I had removed the old stainless holding tank (some PO had replaced the original kracor with SS) because it was leaking when I got the boat. Gross. First job I did on the new boat. Gross. Anyway, plastic-mart, yup .. I found a 20 gallon holding tank that fit in the bow perfectly! Total broke down like this: Order Items --------------------------- Qty: 1 - 20 Gallon RV Waste Holding Tank - (S-H2020-B (bow)) Price Each: $200.99 Build a Tank - I will submit a technical drawing with fitting locations Qty: 1 - Holding Tank Pump-out Kit - (DT-30) Price Each: $47.99 --------------------------- 2 Items Subtotal: $248.98 Tax: $24.30 Shipping: $54.74 Total: $328.02 The $700 price for the kracor was just the tank, no fittings etc. I'm very happy with the plastic-mart tank and the service was excellent. I took measurements from several of the online tanks that I thought would fit and then mocked up the tanks with cardboard and then checked for fit on the boat. I'm glad I did this it worked out perfectly. Do consider mocking up a cardboard tank if you have ANY doubt about fit. Good luck, it's a dirty job.
