Bob,
You ask: where does that send the "best reefer" conversation? Why, to Sears
of course. Just get the best Energy Star, crushed-ice-in-the-door Kenmore
reefer that can fit. And the same for the other appliances: TV, Stereo,
toaster, microwave, davit winch, etc. Four 8D AGMs and a decent inverter and
you are quiet most of each day. Don't bother with dedicated inverters, run
the whole boat! Water heater gets charged along with the batteries.
Heat and A/C!!!??? Damn son, it's a boat, become a snowbird!
Bob in rainy DC
