Thanks! I only copied the idea from my Shipman 28 that has propane locker in the very same location. Only smaller. I also considered storing gas in the bow locker but I want to keep it for anchor chain / rode.
I just subscribed. I've been going through the back episodes and I'm almost caught up. The trick to motivation I've found is not to tear apart too much at once. If the boat looks like a wreck all the time it's hard to see an end. Clean up one section. Like the V berth. Paint it out nice get it all completely finished and then do your best to seal it up and keep it clean. Having one thing that is done and done right is great motivation. The propane locker looks great. The second trick I found to staying motivated, don't stop. An object in motion tends to stay in motion.
Looks like you are making nice progress on the boat. Taking a break away from a project like this is often good for you. You can come back renewed and with fresh perspective on the jobs ahead! Regards.
If I am not mistaken, propane and butane weights more than air. Therefore, if there is a leak, it will stay into the locker and replace the existing air. Luckily it is not the same compartment than the living area, but it seems to be somehow dangerous to leave bottles in there. Thake care there and avoid any kind of sparks (bulbs, electronics) and any opening when smoking (which OTOH is also dangerous by itself!). As per your projet, you are doing a gooood job!
The standard practice is to have gas bottles in separate sealed compartment, that has drain from the bottom to overboard. I've not yet made the drain but there will be one definately.
now its the time to really improve all the systems in the boat. you have a blank canvas. on my refit i ended up glassing 5 thru hulls holes that simply werent needed. including those conecting deck drains. i redirected the deck drain to a new hole, done in the topside, near the sheerline. safety is improved (less holes in the hull), function is still there. i used a 50 mm diameter pvc pipe to provide shape and then glassed all over it
Nice work! Your English is excellent ,as are your analytic skills!
Thank you!
Nice to see you back at it. Nothing wrong with your English.
Thank you!
Nice work with the propane locker. Mine is also in the bow of the boat. Something like this could be very nice. 👍

Very nice progress!
Thanks!
Thanks for video.
Good job!
Reassembling is for sure the nicer part after all that removing and sanding...
Stay in the flow! Many greetings from northern germany!
Thanks for watching!
Well done!
The motivation is often harder than the work itself. However the work performed is of a high level of quality. Best regards from Jarle

Thank you for subscribing and commenting! That was some really good advice from you!
Thank you for this video. I like your tuch when you are building. A good work has to take time. As usual I´m waiting for news from you.
Thanks! Soon there will be a next episode

So true, sometimes it's good to step back for a moment and return with clear mind
looking good :D
Thanks!

Boat will have a small drain allowing any leaking propane to exit the boat through the stern, I believe.
Correct, there will be drain.
The standard practice is to have gas bottles in separate sealed compartment, that has drain from the bottom to overboard. I've not yet made the drain but there will be one definately.
Many Thanks for sharing your build...keep-up the Good Work.
Thanks for watching and commenting! The community here is great and helps keeping the motivation up :)

Great idea, thanks! Might be useful in the future
that's a lot of progress!
Thanks!
Way cool.
Thanks!
Nice job. Sorry if I missed it - curious of how many liters/gallons the black fuel tank holds. Thanks!
The fuel tank is not so big - 112 litres, so about 100 litres usable volume I guess.
You are very meticulous--not only in your language but on your boat.
Thanks :)
