I'm looking for advice on the C&C 37. the one I'm looking at Has the CNG stove and I'd like to convert to LPG. The obvious place to locate the tank is in one of the lazarette seats aft of the wheel. Unfortunately, though the seats appear to be opening hatches, the opening when viewed from below

We just bought a 1985 C&C 37 this summer. It is truly a delight to sail. It handles a big blow and swells well, but it still can ghost along nicely in light air. Very well balanced helm. The location you describe is where our lpg tank goes. Top flips open and tank, solenoid etc are in there. W

I have owned my 85 C&C 37 for over ten years and still appreciate it every time I sail it.  Fast, stable and comfortable.  My boat has a CNG range and tanks, but the lockers (with lids) are in place for the LPG tanks if I should ever want to convert.  They already have drainage and ventilation.
