Definitely not going with 12 volt. Either Buddy heat or this alcohol thing once I can get more info.

Or neither one and I'll just take a few girlfriends to lay on top of me ;D

Re: Cabin Heat
 

...on 2nd thought, a few girlfriends would cost way more than the 12 volt, so I'm screwed either way!

I was going to go w/ mr. heater buddy.....opted for the Coleman ProCat [had a Sports Authority gift card and they only had Coleman] ...16 oz. propane charged,heats 200 sq. ft., 7hrs. burn time. Used it only once so far....it's a real bump up to first class. Very stable and safe.69.99

Re: Cabin Heat
 

this way Blue..., everbody stays warm

Re: Cabin Heat
 

Well Phes, if you do it RIGHT, everybody can stay warm the other way too (friction) ;D

I'll take that Coleman into consideration. I think the Buddy is around $100.

Re: Cabin Heat
 

Mine is a Coleman, I think we got the same unit...have used mine for years...w/front, side and rear curtains up, there's a REAL difference... ;) :D...

Re: Cabin Heat
 

you got that right RAP...all closed in, zipped up tight, you are STYLIN now....and BLUE, I've seen the heater buddy for the same price as the Coleman, 69.99, the 100.00 one I think has a higher output and in the cuddy of our boats is perhaps unessesary,IMO. Although I like to think along the lines of....to much horsepower, to much speed, to much heat....ya know what I'm saying?

Re: Cabin Heat
 

I agree, the BIG buddy is a lil overkill probably, but would also work in a large man cave too!

Re: Cabin Heat
 

The fuel is just stove alcohol, avail at any boat store, it hold about a gallon, totally spill proof (it soakis into a spongey thing, and I have no idea how long it takes to run out, I never let it happen, Va winters are to cold for that

Re: Cabin Heat
 

I just used up the first 16 oz. tank....lasted almost 7.5 hours, $2.19 a piece
