Default 1977 23' CC Fuel tank leaking

Well it all started with the wife saying it was okay to buy the boat. Now comes the fun, started out reading everyones rebuilds , how to's and everyone elses experiences. First off LEARNED A TON SO FAR FROM EVERYONE.
Thanks

On to my question - have a 1977 CC 23' with the fuel tank aft leaking. Found this after adding 5 gallons and watched it pour out drain plug after coming back out of house. Tore entire CC off, all three floor panels to find a large hole in tank , about 1/8 diam. Wondering if anyone knows where to buy an alum replacement tank. 38" x 28" x 13 1/2 tall.

I am contimplating tig welding the small hole, but the tank looks to be original and I am not sure fixing the hole
(corrosion on tank) will not be the end to my story of I weld and put back in.

1977 23' CC with Merc 5.7l and bravo 1 outdrive. (boat was repowered by last owner)
