    I'll buy.

    I wasn't so much thinking about civility......
    (Although, on the whole, cruisers are some of the most civil people I've met.)
    I was thinking of design of the equipment we use.

    Quiet and low emission outboards, engines and generators.
    I think it's up to those of us who actually spend a lot of time on the water,
    to drive the market for products like that.
    Your generator, evidently is a design in the right direction.
    The additional benefit is that that type of equipment is usually cheaper to
    operate.

    Cheers
    Roy
