Source for Fuel Tank Gaskets?

This season I have found more water than usual in my fuel filter/water separator. I have changed the fuel fill fitting and vent, thus eliminating those possibilities. Aside from condensation resulting from temperture changes, I suspect there is another source. Since I purchased the boat over 2 years ago, I have noticed that water from the deck hatches often pools on top of my fuel tank.

Since I will soon be dropping in my rebuilt motor, I wanted to make sure that my water problem is solved. I am having the existing fuel polished and tank cleaned next week. Given that water pools on top of the tank, I figured that I should change out the gaskets under the metal fill and pickup plates mounted on top of the tank.

Does anyone know where to find a new set of gaskets? I have been searching the web and have been coming up with nothing. I know there are a lot of fiberglass tanks still out there, so there has to be a source.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
