Holding tank concerns

[DBrook3s]

I'm eyeing a secondhand 2019 Island Packet 349, and I'm a bit worried about the holding tank. I've heard the older IPs often came with aluminum holding tanks prone to corrosion, and apparently, they're incredibly difficult to access, often buried under the sole. Does anyone know if it has the older-style tank and that repair can easily coast up to $5,000? Just wondering if anyone has direct experience with the tank material or accessibility on this model, or if I'm worrying unnecessarily given it's a more recent build.

The 2019 should have a plastic holding tank, not the old aluminum ones. Accessibility's still tight, but corrosion isn't a big concern anymore and you're probably good, just double-check with the surveyor

That's really worrying, if the tank is aluminum and hard to access, repairs could get really expensive. Have you thought about having a professional survey it before committing?
