I read Sandy Grant's review of his H240 in Brisbane, AU. It is posted in the Hunter 240 section on this site. He added two Plastimo flexible water tanks in the hatch spaces. He put a 100 L bag on each side in order to provide 400 pounds more ballast.
He writes,"I have just added 2x 100 litre Plastimo water tanks which I plan to keep full. These are located in the hatch space on either side of the boat. I don't care what anyone else thinks - these boats are tender and I hate having to reef going upwind in 12 knots just when the sailing should be perfect. The difference upwind was amazing and downwind she felt much more stable - no annoying joggle when sailing in choppy seas."
I just ordered two from Defender at $104.00 each. They hold about 26 gallons each and can be plumbed into the water system. They are 41 x 27 inches.
I will post pictures of the install after the bladders arrive.
