Inland lakes often have regulations about what kind of sanitation 
device (if any) can be present on boats in their waters.  Depends on 
who is in charge.  The feds have different rules than TVA which has 
different rules than the state or local governance.  I would do a 
quick survey of the lakes you plan to sail to see what their rules 
are.  Some may not allow a boat with a holding tank (even if the 
discharge is locked).  I specifically looked for a boat with a 
porta-pottie because my home lake (Lake Sinclair in GA) is one of 
those that does not allow holding tanks.

Cheers!
