So, if you were to put such a system on your boat, what would you prefer?


Diesel definately. I'd rather not deal with gasoline at all, since I
don't have a gasoline aux or main, I don't want to haul it for a genset.

Standalone would be preferable for me, but either way would work. What
price point are you looking at?


It'll probably cost about as much as a typical 1 kW genset. If we can't
sell it for under $1k retail, we probably won't bother. Right now our
engineering estimates have the MSRP below that.

Competing with the little and quiet
(although gas) honda's is gong to be tough. But good luck, and please
keep us posted, I for one would be interested.


We have no intention of competing with Honda, we will only proceed with
this project if our market research indicates we have found a true
niche. I see no reason why someone might not have both products for
different purposes.
