    It's 100 degrees outside and I'm thinking about how to heat a 1984 H34 come winter.

    The boat is located on the Columbia River outside of Portland. looking to use it more this winter and do a variety of interior projects when things get cold. What heat source have you inhaled and why. And if you installed a stove like a Dickinson -did you figure out where to install one and how...
