It's a good idea but I'm not sure it would justify the cost.
Do you know what the water maker installed system cost?
I am not sure what it cost since my boat came with one already installed. Sure is a nice feature.

A water tank in the e.r. is going to warm up when running. ...
I stopped with the dish washing. It is a pain in the boat anyway and does use a ton of water. On trips we use the coffee cups you can buy at target like Starbucks has and the thicker/stronger paper plates. At most all I have to clean now is the grill and grilling gear. No more doing dishes, no more using up water, and saves valuable hard earned fun time from being destroyed washing dishes in a boat sink. Granted it isnt classy to use paper plates and whatnot but I'm not in an 85 footer here either.
Under the forwars bed, that's the right place. I'm with Alex!
You can use a flexible tank or build it in stainless steel as I did. Just be sure to fix it properly or it will destroy your bow...
Mine holds some 65 gallons and I fill it only when I'm planning to stay a few days without touching land.
Ummmm... What do you mean "destroy your bow"?
When I was talking with the owner of the boat yard that did our equipment installations one of the things we discussed was a water maker. The installed cost for one capable of supplying water for the two of us was going to be around $10K. I don't recall the specs but it would have had a large enough capacity to keep us going indefinitely when we were in salt water.It's a good idea but I'm not sure it would justify the cost.

Slip one of these babies under your fwd. bed and eliminate the need for a custom shaped tank. Connect it up to a separate pump to a dedicated faucet in the head and galley and your drinking water problems are solved.

I wish I had such a dilemma. It's not often I hear of there being surplus space available in an engine room....I sure wish I had more space there.
Hellman,
A quick search actually showed WM to have the lowest price by a few hundred $$!!! That was a surprise!!
Amen brother!! I get dizzy when I look into my ER!! On my old 260 I could move around and reach anywhere. On this boat I have to limber up for 45 minutes just to check the oil !!!
Before I got booted off BOC there was a used water maker over there for sale. :smt001
EDIT, Never mind.
