When family commitments allow we intend to buy a classic gentleman's yacht. However as we would intend to cruise controlled waters home and abroad not all the boats we have viewed have black/grey tanks fitted. As the vessel would be moored, in the short term, near where they were first made we rather think a 30 to 45 ft Rampart would fit the bill. All I would like is a ballpark figure to help compare properly with more modern boats where such things are standard.
Thank you.
 
Not entirely clear what you are asking. If you want to know what holding tanks cost to fit, you can search the forums as the subject comes up regularly. To give you a guide, a basic holding tank using a standard size and shape tank and a gravity emptying system will cost around £3-400 pounds in materials. However, most boats need a custom designed tank to make full use of the space available. This increases the material cost to £7-800. If you go for a pumped system, which on some boats is necessary because there is not space for a gravity tank, the material cost will be anything up to twice as much - around £1500. If you are unable to do the job yourself, labour could double it again.

Suggest you look at the specialist suppliers such as www.vetus.co.uk www.tek-tanks.com and www.leesan.com all of whom provide extensive information on design and fitment of different systems.
