[C38] Water tank vent

[Ray Torok]

A question for Steve:

Where did you find those plastic tanks that fit so nicely under the
settee?  I have been looking at bladders that might fit there with the
intent of increasing my water storage for cruising.

Others with thoughts on increasing the water storage please chime in.

Thanks,  Ray
