It worked great...I wouldn't run it while I'm fishing with three guy in the boat. But it was nice to crank it up between spots and warm up. It's got a lot of safety shut off's so if the boat rocked too much it would shut down. Im kinda either starting to feel old or I'm becoming a wuss. First year I've used hot hands and now a heater, but got to admit it was nice. Oh yeah and we caught some slabs as well. Merry Christmas everyone
