Looking for Stove opening measurements for CD30
Does anyone know the opening measurements of the CD 30 (stove top)? Thanks

Stove dimentions
Hi Walt and Kelle,
The width of the stove cutout on your boat is 22", and the minimum width required for a Force 10 Propane stove is 21"

Looking For Stove Opening
Here is a word of advice for anyone thinking of cutting an opening in the countertop for a stove or sink basin, etc.
This is no made up story because I actually saw the results of what happens when you make a common mistake.
Assuming that the cutout had to be 22" x 21", the fellow laid out a rectangle that was square and true with the counter edges. He wisely checked underneath for structural support and then proceeded to plunge cut along the outline. Allowing for a little wiggle room clearance, he cut a beautiful hole from corner to corner around the outline.
When he placed the unit to be installed into the new hole for a test fit, he realized the mistake that he had made.
ouch.
The hole that he had so carefully cut had square 90 degree corners and the stove had rounded corners. With the stove sitting in place, there were four glaringly visible voids at the corners of the hole in the formica countertop.
I'm not sure if there is a moral to this story or if it does have any redeeming value. About all that I can say is BE CAREFUL.

As a finish carpenter/woodworker for a great portion of my life, I have found that the true mark of a craftsman is not weather or not you make mistakes but how you remedy them. The idea is to make as few as possible. That said, we all do.
Some very nice details I have added to jobs were done to cover mistakes.
For the stove cut out O.J. mentioned I could imagine a nice teak rim around the stove cut out.
Sometimes if you cut it twice it's still too short, Steve.

Thank you for your input. There is a very nice teak trim around the area right now. The owner (Bob Emmons) was using a portable butane stove (one burner). Now that I have the measurements I think this new one will drop in nicely with a little modification. I love propane and may decide to install a stove/oven at some point. I got a good deal on a 2 burner Origo so I will work with that over the winter.
My husband is a woodworker (working primarily in cherry) and has learned the hard way about "Measure twice, cut once"....
I have heard a few choice words coming from his workshop in the past and now he works much slower and doesn't when he is tired
PS - If you have any recipes or tips/tricks to add to our new food forum please take a look under the Index (Underway Gourmet).
