Plastic is what I hit the price for!I'm really liking the idea being being able to drink the water on board! I would go stainless but I don't like the idea of lugging 150lb tanks up a ladder 12 feet and then down the companionway...

I have a 26 gallon Plastimo for Touche's fresh water tank. Install was easy. Yanking it out to clean it is a 10 minute job.

The current ones are aluminum, leaking and well past their life expectancy. Here is what I've come up with. so, I think these are all I've worked on; aluminum for about $700ea w/ shipping 70lbs Pros are weight, direct replacement, not too expensive Cons are corrosion, taste, poor reaction to chlorine SS about $800ea w/shipping 150lbs Pros are direct replacment, food grade, non corrosive, no chlorine issue, no real taste issue Cons are weight Bladder about $220 ea w/shipping super light Pros are pretty easy install, food grade PVC, no chlorine or taste issues, easily replaceable cost effectively, less than 1/2 the cost of next cheapest option Cons are some space modification to utilize full capacity. Custom Poly too expensive to consider Custom Bladder too expensive to consider Thats about all I can come up with any comments from you guys?
