Speak for yourself - no heaters here in the South - and my other boats are on trailers ...

As long as the sun is out, even if the outside temps are down in the single digits, the inside is workable. The shrink wrap heats it up nicely.
I also run suplemental heat as I am not as young as I once was.
I normally just wear a sweatshirt and am plenty warm.
About the only nice thing about having the engine where they are is in the summer I crank the AC when doing any work on them.
