[QUOTE="thill, post: 504841, member: 4972"] That looks like a great big lake boat. The first one looks a little lighter, with less superstructure, but hard to say from pics. The small heater is a Coleman, yes: [ATTACH type="full" alt="cat heat 1.jpg"]116945[/ATTACH] It is good to keep the hands warm out in the open, and warms up a tight enclosure to maybe 50 degrees when it's in the 20-30's. When it's really cold, we run the big heater: [ATTACH type="full" alt="4913739.jpg"]116946[/ATTACH] Even on lowest setting, this one puts out a lot of BTU's and will run you out of the enclosure if you zip it up. We set this one in a milk crate and just aim it and it works great. Radiant heat rocks when it's cold! You just can't stand in front of it when wearing a rubber rain suit or you risk melting it. Obviously, you must be careful when running heat in a boat. I've only used the little tent heater in a small boat. [/QUOTE]
