Ive got to put together a charging system for my thunderbird 26, and my
engine consists of an outboard without an alternator. If bang for buck was
your main concern, with size and noise being secondary, do you think you'd
get more charging amps by hooking up a generator to a charger, or taking a
similar sized stationary engine and hooking it up to as many alternators as
it could handle? Is there another option?

For a Thunderbird, I think I'd look for an outboard that had an
alternator, and carry an AC charger. You won't have much space to
store a portable generator.
