Hi, welcome to the Forum.
Boat heating is a very wide topic. I had a look at the type of boat you are thinking about. Most of us have narrow boat experience so it may not apply too well.
This is one of the types I think.
I guess it all boils down to what to burn an how to get the heat into the boat.
Choice of fuels.
Wood burning - not with your style of boat I think!!
LPG - you will need a gas locker - a space sealed from the rest of the boat with low level vents discharging over board.
Petrol - the term floating bomb comes to mind.
Diesel - you will either need a diesel boat or an extra tank for the heating.
How to get the heat to the boat.
Convection from a diesel stove - there are a few around.
Indirect by water with radiators.
Blown air. The blown air option I think is quite popular on motor cruiser style boats.
That will do for a start I think.
Cheers Graham
