I have several dickinson diesel heaters in my boats and love them, personally I would stay away from propane heaters like the newport propane or force 10, they use a lot of fuel and really don't put out a lot of heat compared to the diesel models. I tried a force 10 year ago and hated it... made lots of noise ( hissing ) and burned a lot of fuel to get any real output out of it. the noise didn't matter during the day but at night the hiss was really annoying...

Aaron: I don't know if this will be any help, but I just installed two furnaces on my 42' aft cabin. I put a Wallas 1300 (kerosene) heater on the enclosed fly bridge, and a Wallas 40D (diesel) in the aft state room. The 1300 was very simple to install and seems to work very well. You can screw it to a bulkhead and run 12V to it and set a small kerosene tank in a cabinet or on a shelf under it. I have the flying bridge and aft deck enclosed and the little heater will keep the area warm when the outside temp is in the 30's. The aft deck cover has canvas sides so there is some warm air leakage there. The 40D was much more involved with ducting, power and fuel lines, but it keeps the inside nice and warm and isn't nearly as loud as the other brands. (My neighbors boat sounds like a jet engine idling when his furnace fires off.) Good luck with you project.
