Alcohol stoves scare me (except orego sp?). and a Coleman Campstove to boil water or fry food. $50-$125 and a Barbecue $100-$300
I think you will like having the stove and range re-installed. The Admiral has cooked many enjoyable meals on ours, including a Thanksgiving dinner. I like heating up the morning coffee with no hassle. After all, the propane is right there, you might as well use it.Stove and table are removed but are available. Stove was removed to add more storage and table for more room. They have both a large and small table top.
I don't know. My lithium battery cells will be on island today. I'm considering following Delos and going with all electric appliances.I think you will like having the stove and range re-installed.

We have both the large and small table tops on board, but usually use a mid size table we found that has fiddles on it.
John, when we sailed up from SF in 2016, I knew that CNG which is what we have is NOT available here. In order to keep the CNG canisters (2) we had full, we bought a butane stove. $25. I am still using it. And when we have power outages here, I bring it home 'cuz our stoves are electric!Alcohol stoves scare me (except orego sp?)
Propane cylinders in the cabin bad bad
Go butane - lighter than air and stoves and canisters very available.
That's the kind of boat to find!Honestly there is almost nothing I have to change,
Looking at the backside of the bulkhead, the C310 had the Factory Catalina replacement screw in insulated bulkhead added by the original owner. I'll look at the records on Thursday and see if I see anything about the exhaust elbow being replaced also.Looks like the exhaust elbow will need the retro fit modifications.

This is really key for us, as I've learned I might want to fix and work on my boat, but I just don't have the time. So I might pay more then I should but the goal of less work over the next 5 years will be the selling point to the wife.That's the kind of boat to find!
All the upgrades/equipment shown in your photos are good quality and well done. New charger & wiring, Garhauer traveler, rigid boom vang to mention a few I noticed.
Less time working on the boat gives you more sailing time.
And to you, my friend. Psst, don't tell her that!but the goal of less work over the next 5 years will be the selling point to the wife.
She doesn't like the color, pattern and type of fabric. The new Sunbrella covered cushions in the 86 C34 we looked at she really liked. So that is a relatively easy change, and since she wants it I don't have to justify the cost Happy wife, happy sailing lifeAnd to you, my friend. Psst, don't tell her that!
Besides, just about everyone I know has figured out how to find a place for paper towels other than ripping out a perfectly good stove! My PO found what I think is the best place, out of sight but still handy: under the companionway steps. May not work on all boats. But there are some nice PT holders even in teak, like ours. Pricey, but a once in a lifetime purchase.
What doesn't she like about the cushions?
When we were looking to buy a C310, I was okay with finding a fixer upper, but my wife insisted we get something in good shape and go sailing. We stumbled onto a C310 that was two years old, and priced accordingly, but was actually a brand new boat. The engine had 19 hours on it, and the fridge and cabinets still had packing in them from the factory. We spent a few months getting used to the boat, then headed out for our first real cruise, from Florida to Massachusetts.This is really key for use, as I've learned I might want to fix and work on my boat, but I just don't have the time.
