Jim Richardson :

If the fuel cells using diesel or methanol were available at a decent
price, that would tip it over the edge for me. I'd dearly love to get
rid of the stinky "iron genny" and getting quiet, and a good recharger
for house batteries whilst underway is a bonus. Plus, even with the
weight of the batteries, I'd likely wind up losing weight by dumping the
diesel engine.

Have you looked at Honda's generators with invertor output?

For the power out, those machine are very quiet. While the largest model I
have used is only 2.5KW it is my understanding that all the models are very
quiet in operation. More than once I had to personally go and check my unit
to see if it ran out of gas because I could not hear it running. And that is
another thing, depending on your needs the ecomo mode uses very little gas to
run. Let's me set my charger to slow charge the batteries (best for life and
completeness of charge) without wasting gas producing more power than is used.
