The previouse owner failed to take out drain plug during the rainy season and the boat flooded. The gas filler and overflow lines failed/cracked and allowed water to get in.
All the junk I described would be ontop of the tank as well and could have been introduced through the broken line.
That being said I would pressure test the tank before you spend any more money on it. Sitting under water would speed any corrosion that was there as the foam is likely fully saturated.
Regardless of if there is a hole It's a 30+ year old tank and well passed its service life. I just replaced mine during winter. I sure enjoy not using on deck tanks and the piece of mind of it being all new. Florida Marine Tanks built it for me and it went very smooth and the tank fit perfect.
Good luck.
