Hi Christopher, Skookum Maru is a beautiful boat. I love the galley, very nautical but not yachty. Nicely done installing the diesel stove. I am curious to hear how well it heats the main house over the winter. Does it have the water heater coils and are you planning on adding hydronic heaters in places like the fore and aft cabins? Also, I am curious about the copper heat shield and overhead panel. The bends are very well made. Do you have a metal brake or did you have a metal shop make the bends? - George
Beautiful photos, worthy of a WB Magazine piece, but you know my ambivalence about the way WB goes about its mission, promoting an impossible esthetic. That said, I make exception/acceptance for the way the lovely Skookum Maru achieves the impossible.

Thanks George. I'll respond via PM with some detail on the stove installation.
