Well, I posted a query about acquiring a stainless water tank for my
Morgan OI 41. The responders dissuaded me. The price is simply
prohibitive. Any one have suggestions for water tankage. I can not
buy a ready-made tank as it is a really odd shape which fits against
the hull, upright, on the port side of the boat. Any suggestions
appreciated.

Sorry...couldn't resist.


Besides ronco there is also a company that will mold a tank for you
any size and shape you want it and it's pretty reasonable.
Unfortunately I can't find their URL at present. Sorry. Maybe Peggy
Hall of someone else will be able to find it.

There are two actually (that I know about):

SeaFab (used to be C.C. Tech) http://www.seafabtanks.com/

Triple M Plastics: http://www.triplemplastics.net/

Hi:

Not sure how high the cost was that shocked.

Here is what I did and thought the money was well worth safe and tasty
water.

45 gallons
316 L ss
3/16 inch plate
3 baffles
1 inspection plate and a pickup tube
$600 total
Look for a metal fabricator who services the restaurant business.

So is $600 bucks too much for safe drinking water?

I also have a OI41, in ripping apart the boat I found the water tank
really doesnt leak as it is an enclosed fiberglassed tank, however, IF
you are sure of your leak then the only fix is by putting in a bladder.
The largest available is about 56 gallons, you will loose about 20 gals
from previous. My fittings are all from the top so it would be a much
easier fix for me. However, we are shutting her back up and scratching
our heads that the leak wasn't coming from the Port tank so where from?
good luck

Why do you consider that to be the "only" fix?
