On my previous seagoing boat, (Moody 44), I had an Eberspacher diesel blown air heater which got the boat toasty in the depths of winter, and was cheap to run, so I completely agree.

However, my experience of a gas fired blown air heater is completely different, in that it is not very powerful, and quite expensive.

I am obviously talking about my Trumatic, and have no experience of a the Propex in the OP.... but I wouldn't want to get rid of an existing coal fired stove for a gas warm air heater until I was certain that it would do the job, in terms of heat and cost. 

A friend of ours had a Propex in their Fairline.  It was every bit as good as our Webasto if not a bit quieter.

It did use a fair bit of gas though.
