I have the standard propane locker under the helm seat and it holds two 10-lb aluminum tanks. Two 10-lb tanks easily last an entire summer season for me, using propane every weekend. When I cruised the Bahamas, one tank would last about 4-6 weeks as I recall. I can't see any reason for carrying more propane, except I've considered adding a 6-lb aluminum tank dedicated to the grill and I would mount this on deck near the grill.
The 5-lb tanks are carbon steel and they don't last very long around here (warm moist salt air). Well, it's not so warm right now though! I would be glad to make these measurements for you this weekend, if we don't get any more snow. I live about 30 minutes away from my boat.
