I have a Coleman Black Cat that does pretty well. Anyone else out there have a super heater that can warm pinkies and toes during the late Muskie season? What do you use?

Mr Heater Buddy is the one to have, plus it has an O2 sensor shut off for indoor use. I believe it has higher a BTU rating than the Power Cat.

"The Portable Buddy has a built-in low oxygen shutoff system, making it safe for indoor use. At 4000 or 9000 BTU’s, the Buddy will heat approximately 200 square feet. The Buddy is perfect for Tents, Cabins, RV’s, Campers, Ice Shanties, Hunting Blinds and other recreational enclosures. The Buddy is also a reliable heat source for Power Outages and Roadside Emergencies" This is off the web site.

I use a Honda Generator strapped down in the bow to power up a Ceramic Heater! Works well with the George Foreman Grill and Coffee Pot as well.

Coffee pot on the boat? That MIGHT have to be an option for the 2004 Patriots!

I gonna use my front dry storage as a fire pit in the fall. That plastic lining in those Rangers should keep the carpet from catching fire. Plus....dry storage....the fire won't go out if it rains or snows!
Blackberry brandy and the ColumbiaWear work good, too.

Call me tough, stubborn or just stupid. I just wear a snowmobile suite, pac boots and some good water proof gloves. A good turtleneck t-shirt keeps the wind off your nech too.

Winter hunting clothes, boots, a hand muff with several heat packs for key areas of the body, and to top it off a small Colman heater. Since we're not fishing out of the 14' Steury anymore we actually have some room for a heat source. Now, for some time off.....

I thought that a power converter and an electric heater might be the trick if one can troll and keep the battery topped off, anyone ever try that?

Damn Larry that's a furnace not a heater  Lmao.

I use a small coleman heater for thawing reels and hands and not really for heat, I dress warm and keep the top and side curtains on.

I've got a regular, old-fashioned Mr Heater, but after looking at that Portable Buddy, I think that I'm ready for an update. I like the fact that I can use it inside in case of a power outage. 20# cylinders fit right in those plastic milk crates so they are very stable in a boat.
It's either a portable heat source or a Viking Funeral.
