No back drop for me buddy - that's just too civilized.

Mr Heater ? That sounds interesting - I'll call you later this week so you can tell me about it.

Check out my fishing report - I talk about how rough it got out there.

Do you have a problem with the heaters shutting off when the boat rocks? All the heaters I have are designed to shut off past a certain degree of angle.

Funny you say that Jason. I almost mentioned that.

1) if you bump it with your foot or something it will cut off. 2) in rough seas it sometimes cuts off due to pounding. Not being a fan of getting pounded to death in the first place, it hasn't been a huge problem. Works fine trolling even when a little snotty.

Oh yeah and 3) if you take a huge wave over the bow and 5 gallons of saltwater lands on your Mr. Heater it will cut off.....and possibly not come back on for a little while.

Different options for different preferences.
I had mine done so the center front section zips, rolls up, and snaps when I want good air flow.
I agree on the front to open, I had a top that did not open once and man it can get hot in there even with the back not there!!
But I would love to enclose with a heater now in my old age!!LOL
