Steve, I had a 1981 36 and the propane system was installed under the rear cockpit seating. Believe it was an 8 or 10 lb bottle but you could also use 5 lb. The fibre glass seat cover piano hinged up to a cylindrical container that was vented out the bottom above the water line with a regulator and a solenoid valve. Buy a 25 foot propane hose, power a solenoid with a switch and you are in business. Pretty easy to install or have one installed if you build the propane locker which is also easy. Many were there from the factory, check out early 80s vintage C&Cs with propane. At one time West marine had the hardware regulator/gauge/solenoid.
You may like diesel for other reasons but you don't have to rule out propane. It's an option. And yes diesel is safer than propane on a boat but not cleaner.
