We've never used more than 3 burners on our cook top
at home. Can't imagine needing 4 on a boat especially
if they are crammed into the typical 21' width for a
boat stove. Lived aboard and cruised for 3 years with
a two burner/oven and it was more than adequate for my
wife's truly great meals. You've got to experience
Lobster Neuberg and fresh baked corn bread while
sitting in beautiful bay ringed with white sand beach
in the Marquesas. Maybe if you are sailing with a
large crew but you better have the boat and huge
galley to go with it.

A two burner stove seems ideal. Especially for
cooking at sea with the gimbals as a two burner will
balance where a three or more burner may not.
Propane seems to be pretty much universally available.
It may not be convenient to schlep the bottles to the
refill station, however. We used kerosene but it
seems to have fallen out of favor. Too bad, as it was
very efficient, safe and easy to store.
