Even the 20 pound bottle ends up being pretty expensive and I doubt
the CG wants to see one inside your trawler. The tank would have to be
kept on a well ventilated place on deck. Rust becomes a problem.

I don't know about this area but in some parts of the country you can
take your 20 pound bottle to a distributor and get it refilled for
much less than the "tank exchange" prices. Many places you can also
get propane delivered to your house in tanks about 5 feet high and
maybe a foot or so in diameter. I'm guessing that they probably hold
60 to 100 pounds. You could probably run directly from those tanks
on a boat of your size or use them to refill smaller bottles.

Same here.
