Tim,
according to the maintenance manual, Kracor (or is it Kraycor) mold #5022
(15 gallon holding tank) should fit under the V-berth.  "... a tight fit in
the newer boats and requires some modification of the plywood in the older
boats."  Newer boats being those with liners, older without.
I too plan to install a holding tank with a marine head this year. Right now
I have a porta-pottie, which can be practical if you typically sail from
marina to marina during vacation time and don't want to pay pump out fees
every time. However I sail on a stretch of river 50-60 km long with no
marinas up river and there are no pump out fees at mine. So I'm going to go
for the real thing. I hate having to lug out that thing and when I do, it
seems it is always on an extremely hot and humid day, which makes an already
unpleasant job seem worse.

Cheers,
Guy.
