*The real question is where YOU can safely store it.* Your boat may have some suitable areas that others may not or vice versa.

Usually any place topside except for a deep cockpit with small or flapper style scuppers is safe enough unless it leaks for some reason.* On a swim platform or in a dingy on davits is great but not everyone has that luxury...and it's not that unsafe aboard as everyone from Coasties to commercial to rec boats store it aboard and I can't think of the last time I heard of stored gas being involved in a incindent. (maybe after the fact but not the cause)....
