I agree with George, I had tried to figure out how to build in a locker below but have settled on building one to go on the aft deck to starboard of the lazerette hatch. It will also make a nice seat. It is built for a 10# aluminum tank.

Pete,
I really don't think you're going to find a suitable place belowdeck for
propane. Remember, the drain of the propane locker has to be strictly
downhill, and above the waterline, at all angles of heel.
A friend managed to turn the lazarette of an Alberg 35 into a propane
locker for two 5-pound tanks, but it was very tight geometry and it
meant he lost the entire locker.
I think your best bet is a deck-mounted box.
