Phat - I like pellet stoves. Problem is I have way to much oak laying around to think about having to buy pellets.

Taking Kracker's advice I'm thinking I will mount the stove in the cockpit inside the enclosure. I can roll up the rear curtain, have a bi-directional blower unit that will heat the deck and the cuddy simultaneously. Just don't know how to get this flu up thru the soft bimini material. Thought about running it up beside the stripper pole but that will impede stripper movement to and fro -somewhat. I can get around the issue of the pole getting too hot by going with triple wall stove pipe. Plus, I think the ladies will like the warm pole. Feel me?

Now what do you think about a jacuzzi? Really no different than a transom mounted bait tank. Yeah, it will be bigger but won't need as much H2O due to the displacement created by strippers........Hmmmmm....just had a thought....I can run the flu into a heat exchanger around the jacuzzi then out the transom.

Am I over-thinking this whole thing?

I have no comment until you can provide an accurate WOT, trimmed out full speed mph.

Cut hole is canvas on the bimini put your triple wall pipe thru then spray this $hit on there!!! It's the best stuff ever!!! It has a burn rate up to like 50 million degrees and will also water proof the roof penetration. The cool thing about this product is if you buy one can for 19.95 then you get like 50 cans free!!! Hell of a deal.

Call me old fashioned, but I would go brick and mortar. I'm not trying to tell you how to run your boat, but I would also look into a baby powder dispenser (keep that fresh stripper smell).

PS I've got a friend of a friend who can get baby powder in bulk...save you mucho dinero.

You're old fashioned.....but that ain't a bad idea at all.

A free standing unit is the most cost effective but would be a maintenance nightmare in a salt enviroment ( I mean look at the effects its had on your Ho pole!!!!). So for long term a brick fire place would be ideal. Get that pole powder coated hot pink to protect it from corrosion.

Maybe you could use some of the waste heat to boil water and convert your outboard to steam power. It would save you a bunch on gas.

Monkey - When I'm done, this boat will not even need to leave the dock to have a good time! I am SOOOOO not concerned with the fuel burn. I just want to make this thing as stripper friendly as humanly possible.

What do ya'll think about a vibrating bench seat? Can I get an amen?

This has clearly gotten out of hand.....but, could you section off the forward part of the cuddy and make a VIP room?

Pull a couple of plug wires off and rev engine to red line.

I have an idea for the hottub, get you a old used life raft case and use the bottom half for the tub. Then run a supply and return to the hottub,you hook an airetor pump up to get the bubble effect. Mount her up on the bow.
