£800 for a plastic water tank!!!

The quote has come back for a plastic water tank. Only £808! Bit too expensive so I started looking myself. I found one from CAK tanks who make tanks with all fitments.. There largest is 423litres. That will do us and they cost just shy of £300 plus £21 delivery. A lot cheaper than £808!!! They take 3-4 weeks to be made. We are not in a hurry as we could fit it ourselves (along with the rest of the fit out). As long as the deck fittings are provided (filler cap and vent) I can't see a problem.

Plastic water tank or not?

No more news on the build but a question from the boatbuilder was what type of water tank? Integrated, stainless or the newer type: plastic? I fancy the maintenance free plastic and we are waiting for a quote.

I will post some pics to jog my memory soon but here is an earlier one.

The beginning...

Well, what can I say. This is my new blog about the fit out of our new boat. It is a widebeam narrowboat 30 feet long and 10 feet wide! At present it is still being build at the boat builders. I will post some pics soon. 

Keep looking in on our new adventure!!!
