The tank space is sealed to keep water out.
If water got in, look to the deck hatches and to the t-top feet (where you found those soft spots). Thats how your water got in.
Some boat builders put access hatches in the deck (old Makos for example), but if the hatch sealant fails, you have the potential for big time leaks.
Cruise on over to ClassicMako.com and take a look at their project area. Lots of tank work being done over there due to tank hatch leaks.
Parker seals the deck, so unless you have leaking fill and vent hose/motor supply hose deck pie plates (or other deck penetrations), the chances of a wet tank are minimized.
