Hi,
I'm curious, where would you put your propane tank?
We also have a 1988 38-200.

No propane for us
We use CNG. The pressurized cylinder for our cooking gas is strapped in a cradle on the shelf in our starboard cockpit lazarette. No need for a special locker or remote shut off, as the natural gas is lighter than air. This is much safer than propane, though not as readily available. We bought the boat with this system from her previous owners on the East Coast. Fortunately, this gas is available in Waukegan, our home port, as well as at other locations on Lake Michigan.

Just a wee bit off topic.
All, Sorry to take this thread in another direction but I couldn't resist sharing a story with you. A sky diver jumps from the plane and pulls the primary cord only to watch the entire pack fly up and away. He pulls the cord to the second chute and it tangles hopelessly. He has mere seconds to reflect on his life as the ground is rushing toward him when all of a sudden a guy flies past headed upward. He has the presence of mind to yell to the guy, "You know anything about parachutes"? While still within earshot other chap answers, "No, you know anything about propane stoves"? Enjoy, Glyn

CNG, makes sense, a number of my friends use CNG instead of propane.
I didn't think of that.
Thanks,
Bob
