Replacing a Pearson 34 holding tank

[kirlos]

Hello all,

I have recently purchased a Pearson 34 which still has the original Nauta holding bladder. After reading a few threads here I'm convinced that a plastic holding tank should be in my near future. Are there any Pearson 34 owners out there that that have replaced their tanks? If you have what size tank and where from? Off the shelf or custom?

Thanks
David.

Check out Ronco Plastics. They have over 400 sizes available. They will custom fit all of your fittings too.

The owners of Imagine, a P-34 out of the Harraseekett, want to do the same. They post here every now and then and I just recommended Ronco, Kracor and Triple M Plastics to them for this project over the weekend. If you need a custom tank and one of Kracor or Ronco's tanks won't fit, then Triple M in Kennebunk can do what ever you need.

Thanks Steve, I've been looking through the ronco plastics site but so far haven't seen anything that jumped out at me shape wise, I'll have to take some measurements and get serious soon..

Maine Sail - I've read all your articles on crimping and bedding, way informative thanks. I'm going to re-bed some hardware in the near future, do you have shop in Portland that you work out of where I can pick up some of that butyl tape next time I'm down south? Or do you do mail order only?
