 back from turtlepac bit on the expensive side 80lt is $800 and the 105lt is $1300...am chasing about an extra 150 litres in the boat so I think getting something fabricated and under the floor might be cheaper

 I knew they were not cheap, but those prices surprised me.

google these guys

they made mine to fit the dimensions of my kill tank

they are QLD, cost me around $300 -$400 for 165ltr bladder built to AS, with proper breather outlet.

I put Outdoinit onto them and pretty sure he got one too
