We live aboard in the PNW (Poulsbo to be precise) and have for 6 years now. We have a Hurricane hydronic furnace and it keeps the boat nice and toasty. Well, toasty for us any way, we keep it at 68°. We do not have the engines plumbed into the heating system but the hoses do run right between the engines so the ER is quite warm, even when the outside temp is well below freezing.
When the weather lady (my bride) sez it is gonna freeze I pump the holding tank and fill the water tanks. We have not had a freeze that extended longer than we could hold out. We do make sure to use the shore facilities when leaving and returning to the marina to extend the available capacities on the boat.
