Tom, a friend of mine who's opinions re. boating I greatly respect tells me
that diesel heaters are the most proficient for heating a boat.  Maybe not
an option for a temporary situation.

Perhaps you can augment your installed system with ceramic heaters. The
great advantage of these is that they are not combustion heaters, so you
don't need a source of outside air.  Plus they are very safe in situations
where there are children, pets, and goofuses.

I will be living aboard my 320 this winter in Boston ( I know I am crazy)
and need to make a decision on supplemental heating.
Anyone have any experience with different types of boat heating systems for
the 320?.  I have the reverse cycle heat and AC that was optional for the
boat and in the literature it mentions an option for electic heat anyone
have any experience with this?
Any information would be appreciated
