Mark;
I mentioned before that AFIK boat water heaters come in two flavors: electric or electric plus heat exchanger. I have a Kuuma stainless steel ( housing is stainless so no corrosion), 6 gallon, 120v, front mount (heat exchanger inlet and outlet on the front) that I bought on eBay for $200. If there is a Wal-Mart near you, you can buy one online from WalMart.com and have it delivered to the store for $259.00. There are also several like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/KUUMA-6-GALLON-HOT-WATER-HEATER-w-REAR-HEAT-EXCHANGE -F-B-MOUNTING-FLANGE-11812-/321065220895?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear <http://www.ebay.com/itm/KUUMA-6-GALLON-HOT-WATER-HEATER-w-REAR-HEAT-EXCHANG E-F-B-MOUNTING-FLANGE-11812-/321065220895?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&has h=item4ac0fa7b1f&vxp=mtr> &hash=item4ac0fa7b1f&vxp=mtr on eBay at the moment.

The cheapest water heater with heat exchanger I've seen was an Attwood for about $350. You could just not use, of even not hook up, the electricity. On the other hand if someone is parting with one that has broken electric heat, you could probably ship it for less than $100 and possibly fix the electric if desired in the future. Usually just a $20 heating element.

I don't ever hook up to AC power, nor do I think it is a common option for where I'll be doing any cruising around here - but I will need a water exchanger (one lister has offered up an old unit with broken electrical - but not sure it's worth shipping ---- anyone know if there is an option for just a heat exchanger tank?). I do have pressure cold water on the boat - so I think all I need is the heat exchanger tank, a mixing valve and plumbing. Mark
