ok, been living aboard my 43 albin for 1 year. on my second winter. I installed a diesel boiler (same as you would in a home) put kick space heaters in the tight areas and ran heating elements through out the boat. With diesel fuel at a cost of $3.50 a gal Its costing me $325 per month to heat the boat. I want to reduce my heating cost so obviously I need to insulate. I'm going to look into thermal curtains as there are 16 large windows on the boat that are big heat loss factors. I'm wondering if anyone here has insulated their walls? hull doesn't seem too important as heat rises and the heating elements are in the cabins. I'm also thinking about adding a small wood stove for the time im*on board to*cut down the run time on the boiler, has anyone had any experience with those? thank you*
