Steve – We’re on Lake Superior and have a little bit bigger space to heat with our 37. I went with a Webasto 2000 last year. There is only a single outlet in the space with the return air also ducted to the space – IE we don’t have fresh air makeup. If I could figure out a good way to duct a vent in the vberth, that would be a good add. I found we get around 10 degree rise per hour. So getting the space from 30-60 will take 2-3 hrs. It stays pretty comfortable - when my crew keep the hatch closed.
Our use/size calculation per the website was in between two sizes and I went with a smaller one. I really only need to take the edge off and dry out gear. Also, the less physical space available and lower power consumption were a factor. These things are like diesel engines and like to be run, so having it going full bore when it is on is a good thing. Hope that helps.

This is a 39' 6" C&C 37 XL with a fairly roomy aft cabin. I expect you can get away with a D2 on a 32.

Is anyone running one on a 32? There's a good price jump from the Espar D2 to the D4. The literature indicates the D2 is good to 26 feet of boat, so it sounds like I need the D4 :( My use is Georgian Bay, just want to extend the season, not living aboard in the winter. The boat is two hours away so there will be "maintenance" trips in the spring and fall which means sleeping aboard, it can get quite cold up there. I have to keep the temps warm for the boat parrot who'll be living aboard with us while we cruise. We're planning three weeks in August this year so it shouldn't be too much of an issue but it gets cold up there at night, even in August. I imagine a D2 would be fine for cold summer nights but I have ideas about maybe cruising the North Channel when the fall colours are out. I don't want to limit myself. At the same time, I don't want to spend money that could go elsewhere. The Newport Dickinson Diesel bulkhead heaters are pretty but I hear they don't make quite enough heat. I'm leaning this way for the cost, but don't want to be disappointed. Everyone says the Espar and Webastos are best. I'de be doing the installation myself in any case so am eager to hear from others who have gone through it.
