I would definitely wait to run the boat till you know if the tank is leaking or not. Your life could depend on it. As far as the tank itself do a search, there have been alot of threads regarding gas tank issues. If you are interested in a 40 gallon tank, Ebay seller Greatlakesskipper has a couple for $129 + shipping.

FWB how much fuel do you think the tank has in it? Full? Half? 1/4?

Welcome to the site.
Scoot it (the boat) out with the garden hose, remove the plug, wick the bilge out or dry with a wrag then start looking for accumilations of fuel in the bilge.
Most likely, you can repair it but this will involve removing the tank. If it is leaking replacing it will be inevitable but a patch might buy you some time.

Like said above clean and dry the bilge and then look for signs of a leak?? If you find nothing then you could get the tank pressure tested to find out for sure.
If you have to take it out, its not going to be fun!! Lots of work and a new 60 gal tank will be $500+ so if you don't have a need for 60 gal you might want to ck out the 40 gal thats a nice price!!!!!

Figure 10.5 gallons per hour to 2.5 miles per gallon at best running capabality.
If you're going to the CAT reef, 40 gallons would be a good size to leave room for error.
