Decision time-Generator vs No Generation-need help
#8
First off, I sold generators for a living for 25 years. Not marine but large industrial/commercial power systems. So I know what’s involved with owning one.
I also own a 3600 Open and when we bought it I removed the generator set within the first month. I didn’t put want to hear it or maintain it. And it took up a lot of space.
I put in 4 - L16 6-volt golf cart batteries and an inverter/charger. It’s been years and I’ve never run out of power while out but we rarely go for more than a night or two. If we did, I’d add larger alternators and charge while underway from the main plants.
The boat is still completely wired for a generator so if the next owner wants one it would be a piece of cake to add.
