CNG is not heavier than air???

=============================

No, it is lighter and will not accumulate in low places such as the
bilge. That has always been CNGs big selling point. For boats big
enough to have a generator/inverter/large battery bank, I'm a great
fan of electric stoves. I've owned an all electric boat for 4 years
now, do a lot of cruising "on the hook", and can't imagine ever going
back to a gas stove of any kind.

Just preference I guess, I have had my boat for about 7
years now and while it is big enough to have a couple of
gensets, an inverter, and a very large 120V battery bank I
love my propane stove and wouldn't give it up for anything.

You're choice of course, but I'm not wild about having propane on a
boat, and the convenience of not having separate stove fuel to worry
about is kind of nice.

This is what I'm thinking too- if I have a large amount of electrical
connections anyway, why worry about a spark igniting a propane leak
somewhere in the bilge? Plus I have cruised in arribean a lot and
sometimes spent a whole day plus $50-100 on taxis to fillup $10 worth of
propane tanks. M
