CD 28' holding tank suggestions

[Mike]

In own a 1978 CD 28'with a direct discharge head and want to add a holding tank. Anyone with experienced suggestions for locations and sizes would be greatly appreciated. As we know, space is pretty limited. Looks like a custom built tank aft of the v-berth water tank, or giving up the port drawers and lower storage are options.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

In my 1979 Cape Dory 28, the holding tank is under the V Berth!And, I believe it is fourteen gallons. The previous owner had one installed two years ago as the old one was leaking around the inspection plate-so they are available.

The water tanks (fifteen gallon each) are installed under the seats in the salon (love that word!)In mine, I took out one of the tanks as we are within easy reach of water in the northwest and converted it to storage with two additional "doors" for access.

Mike, I put a Nauta flexible tank which holds around 14 gallons in the area you are talking about right aft of the bow water tank. This way I got to keep the drawers. Any questions don't hesitate to ask
