Firediver I like your idea for the tanks. I also have a trophy but a cc. Looks good, good idea. Savantblanc, just remember the CG certification in persons or weight witch ever is greater. If you add heavy benches and 3-4 divers with gear and a skipper maybe crew your looking close to your weight limit. Alot of people think that you can take the persons limit and not worry about the weight.

Deck space is a premium . A big ice chest is my dive bench on my boat , I made some tank holders from 6" by 2" channel aluminum 12" long mounted vertical with brackets on each side of the boat .
 
This is one I built, the starboard semicircles that hold the tanks halfway up the backrest haven't been installed

Mounting the SS plates so that I could bolt and unbolt it when I needed the space was a PITA. I had studs welded on the bottom of the plates so I could through bolt them to the deck. The are countersunk so they don't stick up when the bench is removed. It takes about 5 minutes to remove/install the bench.
