Completed a boat project today that I have been working on for about three weeks. Our Pearson 323 came with a Hillerbrand propane 3 burner stove with oven. Only problem is I do not like using propane inside a boat. I have a magma propane grill on the rail, so no need for propane below for me. For some going to an alcohol stove would be a step down, but that is what I like. There is no danger with a non pressurized stove in a boat.
Used red oak plywood. Copied the dimensions from the stove and buit it so the Origo stove I bought would drop right in.
Stained everything except the area that I planned to install some ceramic tiles.
Installed the stainless steel screws and used a full length hinge for the door. Used two door magnets but will also install a latch so the door does not open in rough seas.
Went to a granite shop and had my tiles cut to size and then used the tile adhesive and finally grouted them on the gaps.
Removed the propane stove and oven and sized the carriage bolts that would need to make the entire cabinet gimble.
Added the stove top. Everything fits like a glove.
One of the reasons I wanted to build the cabinets is because storage space is very valuable on any boat and keeping a propane stove and oven that I would never use was a serious waste of storage space.
Not really a new feature but because I designed the new cabinet to the dimensions of the old stove we are still able to put the counter top back into place when the stove is not being used.
