I have an ‘01 Sailfish that has the built in A/C. No idea how old it is and it doesn’t have any markings on it anymore. I works great on shore power but I’d like to get a little Honda or equivalent generator so that I can run it underway. Does anyone have an idea how many kw I would need? I don’t want to buy something oversized and obviously don’t want something too small. Thanks
 
I'm sure any 2000W portable unit will work, but be sure to have CO detectors in your sleeping area.
Be aware naysayers will tell you you could die of CO, electrocution, HIV, and fire - all at the same time because portable generators are so dangerous. ;)

Agree, just place as far away from the cabin as you can. I see the Honda on a lot of boats these days.
