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.

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?

Bob

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
