No gas at stove with full LP tank. Regulator and cut-off solenoid OK. Disconnected stove LP supply hose at both ends and appears blocked. Cannot get hose out of PVC conduit that runs from starboard rear lazaret under LP tank to behind stove. Anyone removed hose? Is it one piece or is there a coupling somewhere?

Well, given that your builder likely did the safe (and legal) thing when they did the install...
There is NO coupling between the sealed hose exit from the gas bottle compartment and the appliance on the inside.
Likely just a lot of friction where it takes a turn somewhere in that chase. Maybe?

Fixed LP Gas line

Line was "frozen" to hull in rear compartment under Refrig compressor. Assume that line was run when fiberglass was cooking off, it glued to hull, and heat collapsed inner rubber tube. Bought new line, connected it to old line behind stove, cut line in port rear lazarat and pulled new line to rear using old hose. Stove now works like a champ.
