Do you know how much the toyotomi unit is? I sure would consider it because it can run off of #2 desiel. Good find
I'm pretty sure the Toyoset price is pretty reasonable. Much better than anything "marine", that's for sure.

Two other comments, now that I see the size of boat it's going into:

1) You should seriously consider some solar heaters up on the cabin roof. In your climate, most days you'll have all the hot water you want, totally free.

2) If you have a good place to put it (outside on the back deck?) you might want to consider a house-style high-efficiency propane hot water heater.
