At this point the builder was in so much financial trouble that he could only work on projects that brought in new money. The builder's failure is obviously just a matter of time. I made infrequent trips and do some work myself. I installed a hot-water heater and hydronic furnace heating system - Hurricane II. The system involves 100+ feet of 1-inch heavy-duty heater hose circling the boat with5 heat exchangers. The system can heat the water with a diesel burner, and electric element or draw heat from the engines. It also circulates the water through the water heater reducing the need for the electrical element in the water heater itself.
