When you're building the boat run a couple of ratchet straps under the board. Now this only works on the solid rectangle sections of floor, not the forward bow or thrust board.
I went about it another way. I got a plastic euro crate / parts crate thingy, the tank is a perfect snug fit. Then put a couple of D rings on the inside of the tube and connect the euro crate to the D rings.
The crate isn't held down to the floor, but it doesn't really move around because of the weight. There was room to fit 4 tubes at the handle end of the tank to act as fishing rod holders.
I think I'm going to make one out of pressure treated plywood. Then seal and paint everything.
I'll attach a metal bracket on the bottom to secure it between the gap between first and second floorboard in the middle of the aluminum slots in the center of where you inflate the keel.
Ideally I want to keep some weight up front , so it needs to hold the gas tank, the anchor , and the lithium battery pack.
