As some of you may remember my water tank started leaking last year, the original was a single 80 gallon aluminium tank, it had to be cut into 2 pieces to remove. Doing a internet search to find a couple of replacement tanks that would fit the original footprint and give the most capacity possible I came up with a 42 gallon and a 34 gallon from a list of stock sizes and shapes from the manufacturer Ronco Plastics. The wall thickness is 3/8" they will place inlet, vent and outlet npt threaded ports any where the buyer wants. They will also custom build any size, shape tank a person wants but at a higher price than their off the shelf tanks. When I talked with their rep Linda who answered the phone she was able to answer all my questions, she also said I could get the tanks at wholesale (-50%) if my marina would let me use their tax ID #. The marina agreed so that was a substantial savings, they are doing the labor. I have no interest in Ronco other than being a very happy customer, there are many sellers that sell Ronco poly tanks but I suggest dealing direct with Ronco if you have a tax ID # or your marina would go along like mine, truthfully I hope none of you have to go thru a replacement like mine with the destruction to the interior of the boat.
