Best of luck and let us know how you get on.

I am currently planning on going off sometime next year, also on rent (bit less that you mention, but have a partner to share the load).

By conicidence I am also trying to work out what heating to fit - I want something simple and non-electricity-drawing. had Eberspracher on previous boat - great but pricey and complex.

Looking at Taylors/Sigmar/Refleks paraffin/diesel heaters, as the boat is a gaff cutter wthe Taylors cooker, seems more in character. Prices still scary and can't summon anything up 2nd hand.

Got a 20yr old "worst of both worlds" paraffin blown air job that came with the boat (not installed) that I really don't want to refit as I'll lose a whole locker....
