Pearson P34 Mt Desert, ME
Any experience out there with custom made liner tanks to fit compartments under berths? My 85 Pearson 34 has two Nauta 25 gallon flexible tanks. One needs replacement anyway so I have been wondering about have custom sized tanks made. There's a few folks out there, a couple in G Britain, that say they do it. New World Mfg in CA will make them for $4-500 each pending seeing the templates. Same space that holds one of the 25 gal Nauta's would hold ~64 gallons w/a custom. They're talking about using 30 mil PVC with electro-welded seams. Most of the strength comes from the compartment, so the tank should be oversized if anything. Also needs to be smooth inside compartment, or lined.

Two companies who make custom tanks

http://www.seafabtanks.com/ is in RI http://www.triplemplastics.net/ is in ME Both make good quality custom PE or PP welded tanks. Something to consider when increasing the size of the tank: 25 gal of water weighs 208 lbs...65 gals weighs 541 lbs. Depending on the location, how will another 300+ lbs affect your boat's trim?

i like the idea of custom fit liners for existing

compartments instead of monopolizing other usable space. looking for same my self but heat releases toxins in plastic into water supply and that concerns me.
