Thanks guys. I know the full configuration of the water tanks in the 42. For those that swapped to the Poly tanks I was hoping to find a good company to deal with for stock sizes or custom made tanks in the Puget Sound area. I have gotten burnt too many times already this year with deceitful contractors. I am mostly looking for personal recommendations of who to work with.

I believe they were stock back in 84. There are two tanks under the aft berth and I measured them and calculated that they total about 140 gal. The original listing indicated 160 gal capacity (?). They are connected together as far as filling and venting, but have separate exit hoses that are combined before the water line going to the pump. There is a "beam" running between them to support the center line of the berth. (There is a 100 gal. diesel fuel tank below the water tanks.)
