Your "Deck supports on top of the tank" The tank should not be supporting the deck ! Thinking ahead this could be a problem. Decks should be supported by the stringers. The tank should be locked in place prior to foaming or the foam will move it. I used oak and the pieces going down on the sides are an inch above the hull. two rear blocks behind the tank are spanish cedar i had kicking around.

The only thing the supports are underneath is the console. The console will rest on the stringers so no pressure will be above the tank. The supports are nothing more than handles honestly. Any walking pathway on the boat has a stringer centered along it, so for normal use and walking around your feet shouldn't be any more than 2-3 inches from support. But where would the stress occur, in the tank, the hull, or the deck?
