Hey Dale, first of all, you have a
great boat to build upon. Each and every thing you do should be the most important thing you do to that boat. I mean, try not to take away from her seaworthyness or looks. I spend way too much time now each time I do something to my H33 cause over the 21 years I've had her, I've done many things I wish I hadn't and later had to undo and redo. So, think twice or three times and cut or drill once.Sorry, preacher's kid here. Anyway, I have Kerosene stove and heater. I thought about the propane system a couple of years ago when doing some work on my heater, but chickened out for the same reasons of where to put the tanks, what about safty and the expense seemed to have many layers not immediately apparent from the beginning. Long runs of hose, switches, detectors, etc, etc. My thoughts.. on this one, you can NOT cut corners. Safty First. Locker space it valueable on the 33, putting in a locker below decks seems very dangerous and very complicated. I think I would go for the sternrail mounted idea just for safty. Its a small rail area and that too is one of the reasons I stayed with Kerosene. Please keep up with your expenses from the get-go.. and inform us other 33 owners.. we might just want to follow your foot steps. Post some pics too!good luck, enjoy your 33, she's a great boat.
