Greetings, as first time sailors we are looking very seriously at a Beneteau 285. The boat we're examining is a 1987 with a stove heater. A good friend has a similar boat, same year, with a forced air system. I have small kids and worry somewhat about accidental touching of the heater. Does anyone have experience with replacing the stove with forced air. I will contact Beneteau as well. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Steve S. Anchorage, Alaska
