Pearson P33-2 Weymouth,
My 1987 P33-2 still has the original holding tank/bladder in it. I am eager to change this to a regular hard tank. Has anyone done this? How large of a tank and where can it be located?

Jimma, contact Kracor in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They either have the plans for your boat or can make the tank to your specs. Good luck and good sailing, Ron

Pearson P33-2 Weymouth,
Kracor Wisconsin has not responded to two requests. Raritan has tried to help but no solution yet. Has anyone tried installing a holding tank in the head storage hold to the left of the sink?

I don't know how the 33-2 is set up. My 323 has a 30 gal water tank in the bow. I converted it to a holding tank. It's great for my no-discharge area. (Great Lakes) Krocor was helpful during the change over in giving me data on the tank thickness etc. They claim it is a 40 gal tank. That was 4 years ago.

Jimma, Did you call them or e-mail them? I have called them in the past and got an immediate response. Ask for engineering. Best, Ron

I am the new owner of a P33-2, also with the original bladder style holding tank. When we were shopping, we encountered a few P33-2s that had upgraded the tank and I was planning on doing exactly what they did...

There is plenty of room in the cockpit locker. They simply removed the bladder, secured the board that covers it, and mounted a new tank on top of the board. By my measurements, it should be easy to fit a 20-25 gallon tank (of the normal, prefab tanks available at west marine/defender/etc.) and still have plenty of room for the various junk I throw in the locker. I am sure you could fit a much larger tank in there.

If I am interpreting the hull id correctly, I have hull #34. So far, we have been extremely pleased.
