You know Aluminum tanks we would figure about a pound a gallon, Now by the time a bladder is installed with all the fittings straps and containment, the weight savings are not what one thinks, also the boat always smells like a fuel tank.
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.

LOL we get used to the zillion micro splinters and it is all about the love affair we have with these boats that helps block out the "uncomfortable" conditions.
Basic rules learned in my first marrage: 1.NEVER allow a single piece of your work clothing to EVER get mixed with hers in the wash,or even think about using her car to run for a beer after work.
