I vote NO generator. I owned a 1997 31 Open for more than 10 years w/o a gen and really never missed it... We traveled extensively over the summer for more than 3 weeks each time and did that at least twice during the summer. Many, many weekends each year as well. We always, save a few nights, stayed in marina's so a gen wasn't needed. On the nights we stayed on the hook there was a breeze coming into to the boat from the open hatches.... Traveling included cruises North up the Hudson to Lake Champlain to Montreal. Our eastern trips took us to Newport, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Boston, and points north.  Our southern trips took us down the Jersey coast, stopping in Atlantic City then Cape May, up the Delaware to the C&D Canal to the Chesapeake. Stops in the Chesapeake included Annapolis, the Solomon's, Baltimore,  St Michael's', and Virginia Beach... Each 3 weeks or longer.. M2C
