I'm looking to purchase a 1997 3100 Open that has no generator.  What do boaters typically use to add a generator to the boat?

Good day mates.  I'm currently looking to purchase a local 3100 Open with Cummins 330 hp diesels.  This boat has built in rod holders (4) on the radar arch, something I haven't seen before so just curious if this is the norm.  Also, no generator so would a Honda gas generator be a good option to add for overnight stays?  I'm located in the Kemah Texas area and plan to mostly cruise with some offshore fishing thrown in when the boys come down to play.

This is a 1988 3100 Open with no transom door.  I would like to know if anyone has had a door installed or knows of a path to have it done.  Are there any structural issues with cutting a big hole in the transom, I'm guessing yaaa, in which case what has to be "beefed up" if need be.

Looking for 2900 Coronet 1998-2004. Please reach out if you are looking to sell yours.

Thanks,
Jason
