Three burner stoves on a boat make so little sense,
to me, because:
--- what would you be cooking that requires three burners at the same time?
--- if so, one couldn't use a pot large enough than just a small pot or saucepan because of the lack of space; the top of the stove isn't any bigger, is it?
When we traveled from SF to Vancouver Island, we did just fine with a butane single burner, even though our 2 burner CNG stove was just fine (30 years old). Why? 'Cuz CNG isn't available up here and I wanted to keep the two canisters of it that we have on the boat full.
We had many pancake and eggs breakfasts using just the one burner. In all the years we had the two burner, I rarely used more than one burner at a time anyway. And we cooked on the boat very often.
Just passing on 35 years of personal experience.
If you're a gourmet chef and/or NEED three burners, please ignore everything I've said.
And, a question: what could have caused your stove to get in bad condition? Salt water leaks?....
Most likely PO neglect, 'cuz the boat is new to Rob.
