Gas appliances intended for natural gas in houses are fitted with connections large enough for the normal rigid copper pipe used in houses or for the flexible hoses and bayonet  connectors because the the pressure is lower and the pipe runs longer than on a boat.

If you buy a natural gas appliance you need the correct smaller jets for every burner to convert it to LPG at a higher pressure and calorific value. So ensure the appliance is convertible and has the correct bits with it before you buy.

thankyou so much

Bollony,  the pressure at the hob depends on the pressure regulator on the bottle and the proper size of pipe. The pressure using bottled gas is higher than  natural gas in a house so the pipe can be smaller.

I don't think your boat builder understands gas, is he a Gas Safe fitter with the correct LPG for boats card? He should be to be doing any gas work.

i feel so relieved if thats the case as i just cant understand the inlet pipe situation lol , im going to check with him again tomorrrow thankyou so much

You reduce the hob connection down to suit the gas pipe, standard arrangement.

 really? my boatbuilder is saying i cant do that as when the BSC is done it wont pass also the gas will be half the pressure  if we add a connector (is that true ?)

I know this is why its so confusing my boat builder said  im not allowed a 15mm inlet pipe which is what they all are, I  have to find a 8mm inlet pipe and I  just cant find one ??
