Bruce,

You get my vote of approval. This is a great unit to keep everything heated,
main engine, gen set, hot water heater, and cabin, ideal for colder
climates. Please note they have two units one that combines all these tasks
and a separate unit, that I am interested in the H2 that will tie everything
together.

Patrick (who posted some beautiful pictures the other day of his overhaul
30) is preparing to make the same decision. I hope you keep us posted on the
progress and any problems you may encounter.

Best regards,

Dave Lewis
