Re: Electric Heater for Liveaboard in Boston

Another thought about the Espar and Webasto heaters: they are a lot less expensive if purchased though trucking channels instead of marine channels. The manufacturers discourage this practice. So buy...

That would be a good reason :thumb:

Until recently they were sold at boat shows. I guess they [insurers] got tired of paying for burnt boats...

Re: Electric Heater for Liveaboard in Boston
