[quote=Edchris177][quote]Where did you source the bag? I searched for Colorado Bag Co, unsuccessfully.[/quote]
I got it online. Here are a few links...Bill404 21SE is active on this site, in the link,he has a post from this summer.
If no joy, give Bill a PM & see if he has better intel.
I bought mine about 5 years ago.

My 5.7 is also an 8' beam.
Looking at the ad, it says 160lb, that's 16 Imperial gallons. I was pretty sure it was only 80lb. I spoke with the owner when I bought it, IIRC, he said, "80lbs is a lot of water".
Maybe I'm getting old & senile. I'll pull it off the tramp in the next couple of days & see what it actually holds. I;m pretty sure it is not 24" deep.
I did add a 2' piece of webbing to the bottom. I let it "dangle". It can be used to secure the bag on boat, but the most important use is retrieving the bag after use.
It can be a real chore in a big blow,the bag becomes a sea anchor, trailing at the end of the righting line. It is easy to pull yourself(cat) to the bag, but hard to hoist it onboard. Just grab the trailing strap, the bag trips, & empties.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Edchris177 on Sep 18, 2015 - 10:01 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
