The best heat source for drying is electric. When burning propane the
exhaust side of the heater will be very humid. If the heater is with in the
heated environment you have a humidity problem. Diesel may have the same
problem.

Hi, I searched for a while but found no cost comparisons. I'm looking
at the Force 10 6k btu model for an uninsulated 23' fiberglass boat
of approx 900cf. It comes in two different models. Is gas cheaper than
diesel in terms of operating costs? Also, many people said neither
fuel will dry the boat out. I don't quite understand how something can
produce heat and not dry things out but I'm sure anything's possible
these days. I'm thinking of a long trip in daily drizzle. Thanks for
your time and smooth sailing everyone.
