<BR>Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2002 18:19:29 -0500
<P>Last summer I started working on putting together a group purchase in
<BR>the Annapolis area for holding tanks. I was trying to get Kracor
5057s <BR>through Fawcett's in Annapolis because that's what Mike Lehman had
done <BR>a few years back. I called and spoke to someone at Fawcett's -
they had <BR>some recollection of the last group purchase but said that they
no <BR>longer sell Kracor stuff. He told me that he might be able to
work <BR>something out and would call me back - unfortunately he never called
me <BR>back and I haven't followed up since.
<P>I'm going to get back on that with the hopes of getting everything
<BR>figured out in time to be up and running with a new tank before the warm
<BR>weather comes back. I guess I'll start by calling back to Fawcett's.
<P>Checking my past emails I see that Mike Lehman definitely used the 5057
<BR>model and got a group rate of $105.60 back in March of '97. I'm not
<BR>sure how many were in the group though. I think Mike has pictures of
<BR>his tank installation. Also, there are issues with whether or not
you <BR>have an older or newer boat.
<P>The archives of this list from early last September should have a lot of
<BR>posts on this topic.
<P>If you're in the Annapolis area let me know and I'll keep you posted on
<BR>my group purchase progress.
<P>Good luck, <BR>Andy Rankin <BR>LinGin #244

public-list@alberg30.org <BR>Subject: [Alberg30] holding tanks <BR>
<P>I am new Alberg 30 and am in search of a holding tank for my boat. I
<BR>have reviewed the materials from last year on this topic and would like
<BR>to share my experience so far on this matter.
<P>1. The information in the Alberg 30 Maintenance Manual appears to be
<BR>confused when compared with the current Kracor catalogue.
<P>The catalogue says that mold 5057 holds 15.5 gallons or 58.8 liters.
<BR>Mold 5022 holds 17 gallons or 64.4 liters
<P>It looks like the manual writers wanted to say that 5022 will fit in the
<BR>Alberg 30. They just got the capacity wrong.
<P>I make a template (not a full scale mock up) for both and it appears
<BR>that both will fit.
<P>2. Kracor as advertized is expensive for a one of a kind basis. Their
<BR>price was in the $380.00 range.
<P>3. Sealand tanks are available for through Northeast Marine Sanitation.
<BR>They have the equivalent of the Kracor 5057 (15 gallons) for $235.00. If
<BR>you want the outlet on the top the price goes up to $281.43 and with
<BR>shipping to about $294.00
<P>4. Ronco does not seem to make a tank that will fit in the port side of
<BR>the boat. They do make a bow tank B102 HD which will go in the bow but
<BR>might require some modification of the bulkhead to make it fit.
<BR>Delivered with the fittings where you like for about $100. The capacity
<BR>is 13 gallons.
<P>5. Raritan makes the equivalent of the Kracor 5057 (15 gallons). The
<BR>walls are 3/8 like Sealand so it might hold a little less. Raritan rates
<BR>it at 14 gallons. The model number is 14d208014. the price with the
<BR>fittings where I want them is $176.00 I have to purchase the elbows,
<BR>etc. They also sell the equivalent of the Ronco B102 for the bow of the
<BR>boat for $172.00.
<P>6. If you purchase the Raritan tank through defender you can save
<BR>another 15 % and te <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>
