[Public-list] Propane: weight aft

[David Fisher]

That's easily alleviated; oars are lighter than an outboard and can be 
stowed down below without fear of blowing up.  The added weight to your 
upper body may be a concern if it isn't offset by a loss in weight to the 
lower body, but you can stow that further forward, too...
