[C320-list] Replacing Oven/Stove with Storage

[rthruston88 at gmail.com]

Roger,
The original owner of my boat did this, but when he sold it he put the stove/oven back in.  For that I am forever grateful.  I only looked at boats that had an oven as we love fresh, hot cookies in the evening!!!  If you go to Owner's Gallery Photos on the C320 website you can see what he did.  It's on the second page under Idlewild/Little Wing #545, Project Photos.

During the 5+ years we've owned Summer Time,  we've never used theoriginal equipment oven/stove.I'm not really comfortable piping propane down belowdecks and dealing withtank, lines, and connections. For our simple cooking and coffee making needswe use a simple Coleman-type camp stove. It's easy to set up and use, and can be easily removed from the boat when not needed. It occurs to me that we could remove the whole built-in stove/oven unit, and replaceit with cabinetry for storage, which we could certainly use. We would also be removingthe unneeded weight.
Has anyone else thought of this, and if so, what kind of storageinstallation did you create ?Thanks !
