Get out the tape measure...
'Cuz your boat was built right about the time that tanks were first required...making it highly likely that your tank was installed by a PO. There is no "one size fits all" holding tank installation...or any guarantee that the tank on your boat is the same size or shape, in the same location as someone else's.
So I'm afraid the only way to find out how much hose YOU need is by measuring it. Measure each section and allow a little extra.
You'll need 1.5" for the line from the toilet to the tank and the pumpout line...3/4" for the toilet intake line...and most likely 5/8" for the tank vent line. Use Trident 101 or 102 (identical except for color) sanitation hose for the 1/5"....Shields or Trident #148 for toilet intake and tank vent line.
