Replace a bladder waste tank on a 1980 H30

I need to replace an old bladder waste holding tank on my 1980 H30. Currently the bladder is under the port side V-berth. I would like to replace it with a solid tank, if at all possible. We do not need a very large one as it is mostly myself and occasional overnight guests and we pretty much stay at the slip overnights, so can use the marina facilities most often. I have a Jabsco head and just replaced the entire cylinder and it works great. Water is supplied via a thru hull.

Has anyone had experience with a 1980 H30 holding tank replacement? If so, can you tell me what size tank will fit in with the least amount of altering of the hole that is in the port v-berth? Any specific manufacturer? Also, how does the tank set it in there? Do you need to install some sort of a mount for it to sit on? Am thinking of a plywood platform w 5200 to attach it to the hull and the inside of the v-berth....

Thanks in advance....
