Charles Stock refers to a "radiant" heater for his 16' "Shoal Waters", not sure what exactly that is.

He came to our club once and gave a fascinating talk about economical sailing. Anyway, one of his slides showed the heater, as I rememeber it was a Gaz cylinder [907?] supplying a round porcelain element with a round reflector behind it.

I think I've seen one on eBay not long ago.

Still chucks out carbon monoxide, though!

"Marina and 240v marina power are out (boat, not floating caravan)"
Don't dismiss 240v marina power, if the facility is to hand, a decent length extension lead and a small <£10 fan heater would be usefull items to have.
Plus a mains inspection light and a small Argos kettel /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Place a plant pot (not plastic) upturned on to the gas ring of your cooker, once it gets hot turn the gas down low and be prepared to take your jumper off,, works for me and costs buttons /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Your list of wants rules out just about all the possibles, but you may be too quick to reject the idea of putting in a flue.
Small solid fuel stoves, like the Bengco and Pansy take up little space and do not use huge chimneys; mine uses 28mm flexible exhaust pipe. Importantly they can be mounted low on a bulkhead whereas stove-top heaters, including flower-pots will heat the air only above waist height - everything below stays cold.
Eberspachers and their like use battery power and are noisy as are tilleys.
If I turn down the air vent in my little heater and throw a bit more charcoal on it will keep the cabin warm all night.
