Dick,
I think the Espar pricing is correct. I recall prices in the
$4-5000 range when I was looking at it. As part of the sale of
a previous boat, I bought a Dickinson diesel heater for the
boat. Total price for that was about $1500 or so. The new
owner is pretty happy with it. It does require some initial
fiddling to get it set up. He's been living on the boat in
Boston and RI for the last few winters.

Hi,
There has been some info about this, but now that I'm
seriously looking for a heater for my 34' Columbia
sailboat, I'm finding confusion... help!!!
The best heater looks like Espar D5LC, but when I
called a distributor in Rhode Island, I *think* he
told me they cost $4200 or thereabouts.
For $4200 I can rub a lot of sticks together.
There are other diesel or kerosene or propane heaters
for boats that are much lower priced than the Espar,
if in fact that is an accurate price. I'll find out
more this weekend when I visit the dealer in RI.
What do you recommend for keeping a small cabin warm
during January etc. in New Hampshire?
Boat will have a shrink wrap top on to help keep the
cold out.
Thanks!
Dick
