First rate Sam.
You always do good work Sam. Some of this even applies to us H37C types. Thanks for the pictures.

custom tank???
who made the custom tank for you? I would consider one for my 37C if the price wasn't to bad..I would think that if several of us got together for a group order the price might be less and i am sure there a several 37cutter people that would be interested.... thanks

Unfortunately yes, custom
My major objective here was to store the repugnant goo in otherwise unusable space. I have no interest in living directly over a sloshing cauldron of waste stored under a settee locker. I had previously moved all the "services", that is pumps, filters and such to the head's aft bulkhead. This left a good size cavern under the sail locker floor. This is directly behind the toilet and provides a direct waste hose run of less than 2 feet. Unfortunately the size of the tank was decided more by the size of the locker door opening. (While my boat is set up to get the fuel tank out relatively quickly, in this case it would make no difference. I cut and fitted a corrugated cardboard mock-up to send to the fabricator. And just for the record none of the normal suppliers like Ronco show anything even close to the right configuration. I ended up with a touch over 17 gallons, although with better planning I might have been able to get another couple of gallons. The supplier was: C. C. Tech Inc. P. O. Box 72838 1515 Elmwood Ave Cranston,RI 02910 401-784-6168 Fax 401-785-2377 I dealt with Bert The tank is (as I recall) 3/8" polyethylene welded with filler rod under concentrated heat. After fabrication the tank is pressure tested with water. They will put any type of fitting anywhere you want it. I hope the pictures were clear enough to make out the detail. Ah yes. The price. Remember I never said I was sane! I don't have the exact number but I remember it was north of $350.00. I'm sure they would work out something with a large enough order. Thanks for the encouragement. Coming up next, just for the sake of discussion: pictures of the Cherubini Raider 33 Andromeda's hull while out of the water

ANYBODY INTERESTED???
AS AN OWNER OF THE "WORLD FAMOUS" 37CUTTER I HAVE READ ALL THE STUFF ABOUT HOW EVERYONE HAS MADE DUE WITH ALL SORTS OF CONFIGURATIONS OF MADE TO FIT HOLDING TANKS... ANY TAKERS TO SEE WHAT THE COST WOULD BE TO HAVE A CUSTOM TANK MADE FOR OUR BOATS. I KNOW THE DESIGN WAS TO PUT IT UNDER THE SHOWER SEAT BUT MY THOUGHT IS THE LOCKER JUST BEHING THE ANCHOR LOCKER UNDER THE VEE BERTH, AHEAD OF THE AREA THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE PUT THEIR RONCO TANKS. IF WE WERE TO HAVE IT CUSTOM MADE THAN IT WOULD FIT IN THAT V OPENING THAT I JUST STORE JUNK IN NOW AND IT WOUDN'T INTERFER WITH ANYTHING... ANY THOUGHTS OR FEEDBACK ON THE IDEA??

custom from Ronco
Ronco will make a custom tank. You end up paying for the mold. It seems like they quoted around $1000, plus the tank. Of course, they would then put it into their catalog, I'm sure. If a number of people could agree on what they wanted (unlikely) and go together you could get anything you wanted. It wasn't worth it to me.
