My fear is making the boat too stiff.

So my question is where do I put the tank? I am thinking midship somewhere and about 50-60 gallons or so.

There are solutions for avoiding balsa rot around drilled holes that have been posted on CSC before or maybe Bushwacker can provide a link or better details. As for location of the tank you might be interested in seeing my post of 9-24-16 on Estimating CG Shift with Heavy Engines. Puts some science to it.
