Mine holds 60 gallons in my '79 Center console. It was just replaced when I bought the boat but unfortunately I don't know who made it. I just know it's black coated aluminum.

I can't quite make out the 1979 specs but the 1978 and 1980 Cuddy list a 46 gallon tank. The Fisherman's of those years list a 60 gallon, like Squids said.

I'd expose the top of the tank, take measurements and see what size you may be comfortable with.

Moeller has many to choose from, look at these in the 50 to 75 gallon range.
Pick the one of interest, click on "description" and then "diagram" for real dimensions.

Shop places like Jamestown Distributors, West Marine, iBoats and even Amazon.
Or simply do a search, for instance with the 60 gallon tank. "Moeller 032560".

RDS in perry Florida probably made the original, they have a web site or u can call them.

If you do find a data plate, it probably says AFP, but they became RDS.

Shipping might make it too expensive .

I always thought that it was 46 gallons, but looking at the brochures posted here they all say 60 gal. I started uncovering it yesterday and I honestly don't think is a 60 gal tank, it didn't even go all the way forward as to the hatch size, it's about 16 inches shorter. Any ways, I'll be happy with around 40 Gallons, Anyways I seldom go to Bimini any more.....
