Wow sounds like a great Tank! Especially if you plan to fish from other yaks like trips to Baja or Hawaii.

The one concern I see is that all polyvinyl chloride products break down quickly in sunlight. I am not a molecular chemist (maybe Doug can shed some light on this), but depending on the PVC and plastisizers used the materiel may "break down" quicker in sunlight. I know that shower pan liner will break down to the point of cracking if left in the sun in a couple of weeks.

It sure makes installation time fast though, and if the sunlight issue has been thought out I might just buy one too. Thanks for the report Matt!
