The used Potter 19 I just bought has a solar powered vent on it. I leave
it in my driveway for now, and through a couple of bad rainstorms it
hasn't leaked at all. Whenever I open the boat up it doesn't seem damp
or musty at all.

Are there any potters out there that keep their boat in the water, and
have "shore power" available, that use it?
I am interested in keeping a fan or heater (or fan / heater) aboard to
combat condensation. I have visions of getting a call from the sheriff
at 3:00 A.M., asking me how I could be so negligent that I could "burn
down" every boat at the dock.
Most boats on my dock don't have "real" shore power connections, they
just run an extension cord under a hatch. This is what I am
considering, but I don't know what kind of fan / heater to use. This
fan would also help evaporate any rain water that finds it's way inside.
Any suggestions?
1. It has to be SAFE
2. It has to be CHEAP
3. I would rather not drill holes in my boat
