Ronco Plastics had a tank that was an almost exact duplicate of the cracked
Kracor tanks on my 38, at a cost of about $400 per tank. If you know the
dimensions of your aluminum tanks you may be able to buy an exact (or close)
size from them. After talking to Dennis C about his installation, I decided to
use Plastimo bladder tanks ($139 at West for the 26 gallon size, with no
shipping cost for store pickup). I’ll put the bladders into the old Kracor
tanks (after removing the top of the old tank) to avoid any chance of chafe as
the tanks move in response to the motion/heel of the boat. Low cost, simple
installation, effective, and allows me to plug the old vent fittings under the
toe rail of the boat – which can be a source of contamination of the water and
of leaks. FWIW, the 35 gallon IMTRA-Nuata bladder tanks (nitrile rubber
instead of PVC) are about $300 at West Marine (actually less than if you buy
them direct from the manufacturer), and look to be of more durable construction
than the Plastimo tanks Rick BrassWashington, NC From: CnC-List

Subject: Stus-List New water storage tanks Hi guys, I've been researching new
water storage tanks for my boat. The current ones are aluminum, leaking and
well past their life expectancy. Here is what I've come up with. so, I think
these are all I've worked on;
aluminum for about $700ea w/ shipping 70lbs
Pros are weight, direct replacement, not too expensive
Cons are corrosion, taste, poor reaction to chlorine
SS about $800ea w/shipping 150lbs
Pros are direct replacment, food grade, non corrosive, no chlorine
issue, no real taste issue
Cons are weight
Bladder about $220 ea w/shipping super light
Pros are pretty easy install, food grade PVC, no chlorine or taste
issues, easily replaceable cost effectively, less than 1/2 the cost of
next cheapest option
Cons are some space modification to utilize full capacity.
Custom Poly too expensive to consider
Custom Bladder too expensive to consider
Thats about all I can come up with
any comments from you guys? DannyPlymouth, MA this winter Sent from my
