I am looking for a fabricator to make a stainless port water tank for
my Morgan OI 41. It is a fairly large tank so ideally the maker would
be on the east coast of Florida since shipping could be costly. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Please be advised that one tank is not a good idea, especially is you use a
watermaker. In case of failure, your entire water supply will be
contaminated. On the stainless tank fabrication, be ready for the cost. I
made 2 tanks last summer out of 316TI. One was 1000 liters and the other 500
liters. I used 3 mm plate for the ease of welding, 2 mm is troublesome in
that size. The material alone was in excess of $2,000 and the labor for me
and a friend was 2 weeks. Add to this inspection hatches, studded flanges
and mounts.

Once you have priced 316L stainless, plastic tanks start looking real
good...
