What would be the best gas tank for a 1968 (?) 13' super sport whaler with a 1973 40hp Johnson electric start motor. A very close friend died of cancer and left me the boat and I want to get it in the water soon. A marine mechanic assessed the boat, motor, and trailer. I need an electric starter but the motor started 1st pull (has manual pull start too). I'm getting a tune up etc. and want to restore the boat in the future. The boat did not have a gas tank. I think a 10 to 12 gallon would be best. I have read reviews that have negative comments about the plastic gas tanks. The only "original" Johnson gas tanks are all 6 gallons only. Does anyone use a below deck tank under the thwart seat? I would appreciate any suggestions (size, brand). This is my first whaler and I'm very excited to fix the boat in honor of my friend.
