Stowing a vaccuum cleaner on a
carpeted boat is a poor and inefficient use of space, but can be pretty
essential for housekeeping purposes.

Our GB49 has a built in central vac located in the engine room. It is
very compact and efficient - nice system.

For larger boats, with adequate room for the motor, filter, etc a built
in vac would be tough to beat. You do lose some suction with the long
distance between the end of the hose and the
motor, but I would guess that can be made up with the use of a much
larger motor made practical by a fixed location.

Adding a central vac system would be much easier during the
construction of a new boat than trying to retrofit an existing one.
