Tom- toughing out a Cold winter here in ct. But I had the sense 2 install a Dickenson solid fuel heater & it costs me about a dollar or 2 to burn charcoal for about 12 hours when my neighbor goes thru 1 tank of propame every 3 days @ 25$ a pop! & it keeps things dry as well! Major problem- I have a Cat. 30 & need 2 add a valve 4 pumping pp over the side as the holding tank is way too small as is water tank but I love the boat! Spent 4 mnths on the hard fixing " Catalina smile"[iused 5200 as recomeded for flexability & rewired boat, replaced some standing rigging & re-did galley & added refridgeration amoung other things! Now time 4 electronics & inverter. Lotta work but she's a 1980 & I am the second owner! Her little 14 hp. Diesel runs like a champ & if not this yrm then next down the icw- then island hopping 4 me but more work 2 do! Cheers mate! Capt.Gregg
