Joe, Touche' does not have a tank in the bow. That area is pretty much open with no structure forward of the V-Berth step other than the anchor locker bulkhead. Suspect the tank is not structural.
Touche's water tank was under the aft seat of the dinette forward of the half bulkhead. It may have been similar to your tank. It was fiberglass with a riveted on top. Lots of rivets. I replaced it with a 26 gallon rectangular Plastimo flexible tank in the same location. Very pleased. Easy to remove it every spring and clean it on the dock. You have often espoused flexible tank usage in aircraft. Would you consider a triangular flexible tank in the bow? A sistership here in my marina has a flexible wastewater tank in that location. -- Dennis C.
