Replacing waste / holding tanks
Current tanks I believe are 40 gal each. Might go a little bigger or smaller, depending on how well it would fit the available spaces. This is on a 83 3607. I have one tank located under the aft berth and one under dinette.
I see Todd tanks and Moeller tanks as two big vendors out there. Are there others to be considered?? Are there any to stay away from? Are there any advantages of the Todd over Moeller or vice-versa?
Also, any good suggestions for places to get the best prices?

First, they are both old - original to the boat, which was built in 82, so 37 years ago. The aft one developed a crack in the side. The fwd one is "disfigured"... I'm guessing with a bunch of water/waste sloshing around and it being old that it is no longer as strong as it was when new. The longest sides have flexed out a bit.

Yea. Not something I'm really looking forward to, but it has to be done. I've filled them with clean water and had them pumped several times to flush out what I can, but I'm sure it's still going to be nasty. I'm going to be doing the hoses too which I think will be worse. I can tape off the inlets/outlets on the tanks and getting them out is pretty straightforward, but the hoses are going to be work getting them through all the passages.
