Hank, 
yep you are right about the challenges of making it look sleek
with that configuration. You definitely have to protect those propane
tanks, as if they were hit with a stone in transit any dents could make
you nervous. Maybe you could have frame protection for the bottom of
the main ballast tanks to half way up as it is not as critical as the top half.
Also maybe transition to the curve of the propane tanks, but that would
mean a fibreglass shell.
Hope you don't mind all these questions, but I thought you put the propane
tanks on to counteract the negative buoyancy of the pressure hull, that's
why I assumed you would be diving on an angle with their placement.
Alan
