As long as you are near a good location for refilling your propane tank it should work. But, if you plan to cruise propane can be a problem. When I was living a board in New York City back in the late 1990's there was only one place in the entire city that I could get the tank filled and I would have to leave it overnight. This was pre 9/11. Wonder how much questioning I'd go through these days from the authorities as to why I was carrying around a propane tank in the city. :) Personally, for me gas is the most widely available fuel around. Easily available at docks or at local gas stations. The good thing about EP and the gas sipping generators like the Honda 2000i is I carry a lot less fuel on board than when I had diesel. I went through less than ten gallons in last years six month season while living aboard and cruising.

Propane is a heavier than air fuel and presents a fire/explosion hazard just like gasoline. A leak in a gasoline system will gravity feed fuel loss to the level of the leak. A propane system stores fuel under pressure and will force all the fuel out in the event of a leak. Both systems have to be maintained and treated with caution.
