I never heard of those restrictions for a pure recreational vessel. Maybe inspected or charter....but I don't think the restrictions are that tight even for those vessels....
I am interested as I took out my electric stove and oven, replaced it with a 3 burner propane cooktop and a large convection oven in the dead space where the old oven was.
