Remember, the day will come when you want to sell your boat. A new
buyer may want to cruise it overnight so you may want to keep that in
mind whenever you make modifications to a boat. On our Catalina 25,
which had an alcohol stove which we found to be not user friendly, I
replaced it with a two burner, light weight, propane stove with a
piezo lighter. I made a small shelf where the alcohol stove top
would have been, and this created a nice space for storage below the
shelf and a place for the propane stubby. When cruising, a good
stove is a necessity. In a pinch, it can also become a cabin heater
by placing a ceramic flower pot on the burner, or some other item
made from stainless steel to increase the heated surface area. CO
must be monitored as one would do with any other combustion type
heater used below.
