fp, I watched your progress all the way, it came out fantastic! Ernie, this guy does do great work. The HeaterCraft I put in myself, it took about three partial days, two if I'd worked on it solid. I have a small 12v unit that I was using to defog the windshield and it worked ok, but was unrealiable. I finally bit the bullet on about a $4oo bill and ordered the heating system from Go2Marine.com. Cheapest I could find for a 40,000btu unit. The hardest part was getting the unit under the bow seat, had to remove a lot of floatation foam to make room for it. Then to run the heater hoses all the way back to the motor was a bit of a chore in itself. Next time I see you out there you'll have to check it out. Now I'm looking forward to chasing those pesky blackmouth all winter long without having to fight off the flu so much!!
