Re: mounting hrdwre on foam-cored boats
I think hardware palcement and loads should have been addressed at the design stage and deck structure modified accordingly. If they weren't, whatever you come up with will be a band-aid.

Re: Bestevaer 49ST
Not sure about your result, 200l or 200ml?
Propane: C3H8
molar mass: 3*12+8*1 = 44g/mole
full burn: C3H8 + 5 O2 -> 3 CO2 + 4 H2O
water: H2O
molar mass: 2*1+16 = 18g/mole
