I have owned my 85 C&C 37 for over ten years and still appreciate it every time I sail it. Fast, stable and comfortable. My boat has a CNG range and tanks, but the lockers (with lids) are in place for the LPG tanks if I should ever want to convert. They already have drainage and ventilation. I really like the CNG because of the safety factor, but finding the filled tanks can be a problem. In Mexico the CNG is not available, so I just carried a one burner butane stove for making the coffee or doing light cooking after the CNG tanks were empty. No one really wants to be cooking below decks in Mexico anyway. Palapa restaurants are a lot more fun and quite inexpensive. You will love the 37. Mine looks like a twin to "Celebration".
