In Race stuff back in the day we would foam in two round tanks just forward of the main bulkhead these I never saw break, To this day I use that round tank mentality, One weld up the joint incredibly strong tank. Foamed in using two pour foam densities 8 and 4 Pound.Here is a fishing boat going together.

I do believe that a certain 48 turbine cat has issues with the bladder as well . Essentailly any boat with a bladder is a time bomb if not completly accessible to repair or replace
