It's not portable, but I've had a Force 10 vented heater on Winnie the Pooh
for 10 years now.  It puts out 6000 btu on high, the same as a 1500 watt
electric portable heater.  It's easier to install than most propane heaters,
because it uses a SST pipe flue only 1" in diameter for the stack vent.  Of
course you have to run copper or plastic LPG approved hose for the propane
and have a 10 or 20 lb tank somewhere in a vented locker.  It's attractive,
built entirely of stainless and brass, and has a handy top shelf for heating
a mug of water, coffee, or milk.  Never had a problem with it, and it really
helps take the chill off on those cool fall evenings when cruising down the
ICW.
