Local Glastron owner in my area needing to replace the fuel tank in a 77 Glastron Sportster. It has an 85hp Johnson on it. Any advice or point me in the right direction to assist them? Thanks in advance guys.

I have not seen the boat in person but I am being told there is a gas gauge on the dash. Could be aftermarket too.
