Safe cabin heater?

[RussGW270]

Hey guys, I do not have the a/c yet.. heh.. so, curious what you guys use for a small heater in the cabin. I was thinking to stick with electric, since propane in an enclosed space worries me

Not sure how small/large it would need to be to keep it comfortable. Also want it safe.. so... do not care about the cost.. if it has tip-over safety etc.. well worth that. Looking to go to the coast and seems better to sleep onboard as I am not guaranteed a place to keep the boat.

Mr Buddy, I use it when working on the boat in the winter.

I had one of those for the hunting cabin, was just thinking an electric one might be safer, but.. may need one of those. The installed one will work when I get it, heh.. but for this weekend, could use one that I can take other places afterwards. I just worry about propane in enclosed places.

Thanks!

I just picked up one of the Caframo True North heaters. It does a great job and heats up quickly and is quiet as well:

Caframo True North Deluxe Space Heater - 9206CABBX

This rugged AC electric heater keeps the cabin warm on the chilliest of those early and late season nights in the marina. There is no other heater on the market that delivers the performance and quality of the True North, making it Caframo's best selling

Very nice. Need one for tomorrow.. heh.. but that is like the West Marine one, but less expensive

I should have gotten that, but my guests kept procrastinating boat or hotel... so I finally decided to stay on the boat

I have a heater, but it is thin and tall, too "tippy" for me for a boat... heh

May just swing into Wally world and grab a cheap one with safety settings etc and call it done. This only has to work one or two times before I get the built-in heh

Thank you!
