Just wanted to say hi. my name is nick and I am from Davenport and i am the one selling Espar heaters. If there is any questions i would be glad to help you out as much as i can. Fri-sun i will check here, or Mon-thurs I will be at nziegler@istate.com.

I have sold 4 pallets worth of my kits, alot going to boat owners like yourself in the WA area. they are complete kits for on- road use. But many have adapted with no issues for marine and come back for more. if you call my work and get another parts guy and you say it for marine, they will tell you no and not sell you one. I dont see a big difference between the 2. I just say Interstate will not be liable for custom applications. So if you have any questions or wanting to know about my products, id love to help you out.

I will tell you this. if you go to a marine dealer. you have to piece together a kit. They will run you upwards of 2k.

I have a few D2 kits in stock for $875 which are 7500 BTU or i have one 14,000 BTU kit for $1900 complete. We also sell the engine water heaters that are 14,000 BTU for $1175 with a fully programable timer. which taps into the coolant lines and keeps the engine nice and tosty.

any questions please ask. I am here to help.

thank you and a really cool forum!

For the first time this year I saw propane go through my stove and flow out as a liquid. It was about -26F and about 20 seconds after I lit the stove, it flared up. I shut the propane off and the stove continued to burn and when it kicked it toward a snow bank to put it out, the snow where it had been continued to burn.

Cold temp diesel is the way to go.

What is the noise level? At the boat show it seems to me the most quiet heater was the Wallas 1800. My 2 cents.

Today I just bought the Dickenson Newport 9000 heater for Serenity. it is a propane fireplace with a fan to move the air.
now to do the install in time for the march gathering
