Tim. Did you try and plasric weld tank yourself or tank repair? I had 16"
crack in my tank. Had Virginia tank services weld it. $75.00 later and 2 hours
time i was going back to boat to install. Its only been 3 months but i don't
anticipate any problems. It was alot better than the cost to replace the
tank...$$$$.Another thought would be a rubber bladder tank from west marine.
Quicker and cheaper than building a tank. Rick brass went that way.Jim

1981 C&C 36' - Fresh Water Tank Replacement
Both 19 gallon tanks, port and starboard, are leaking in multiple locations.
They are vee-bottom four sided tanks with recesses in the top where stiffeners
under the cover plate fit. I tried plastic welding but the results were
questionable in terms of reliability.
The manufacturer, Kracor, says new ones can be made to order in 3-4 weeks if I
contact a local boat yard to place the order. This sounds expensive and
cumbersome.
What are my other options? Is it easy to contact a local tank company and have
a tank copied at a competitive cost and reasonable lead-time?
