Boat dipstick tubes are longer so you can pump the oil out through them.

I'm trying to locate a tube for the oil dip stick for a 1987 4.3 l V6
motor. It is in a wellcraft boat and the boat dealer want's $65.
I'm sure the tube off a car/truck motor would work fine and be about
$30
(I'd paint it with some good marine paint to prevent corrosion.)
Any ideas how to find the dip stick tube that will fit?
Which 1987 Chevy vehicles have a V6 4.3 L engine?
I'd be very gratefull if someone knows how to find out.
