Good or Bad

===============================

I had a flexible 30 gallon water tank in my old racing sail boat.
Never had any problems with it but you do have place it in a
semi-protected location where it won't be punctured by sharp objects.

I would not use one as a holding tank or for fuel but some people do.

It occurred to me that a flexi tank might be suspicious camouflage
to an eager coast guard search, at home or abroad. Being required
to empty a flex tank at sea to see what's under it might be an
excercise enjoyed by some, and not by others.

Thanks for the imput but where I'm sailing(central america). They
either take the boat apart or just look at all the shiny things.
Besides , since these are just water tanks emptying them would only
require turning on a few taps.
