I had leaks in all three water tank on my Landfall 38. I ended up fixing(first failed at a glue attempt followed by plastic welding) the three tanks, but I decided to permanently remove the v-berth water tank and use the v-berth area for storage(presently sail storage). Having both port and starboard tanks under the settees make for better balance. I would suggest taking the tank out and welding it yourself with a hot air welder like one you can get from Harbor Freight. It is pretty easy to learn and weld plastic. If you want additional storage, consider removing the v-berth tank.
