Dan,
Look into Hydronic Heat/Radiant flooring. 3 good names webasto (we do
not have), ITR Hurricane (we do have), and Kobala (very nice unti, needs
a large area in engine room though). Insulate using a concrete barrier
type insulation which involves bubble wrap on 2 sides plus mirrored
aluminum foil stuff (which I am installing) we live in NY Harbor and
have done it with a growing family for 3 years now.
