The Heartland America catalogue just arrived showing a 2 HP 1000 watt,
15" x 13" x 14" generator for $147.95 (including shipping and handling
after $20.00 rebate). This might be a toy but maybe just the thing to
lug out in the dinghy to recharge the batteries if they should get so
low that the engine won't start or to run some power tools.

I read the rest of the post, but for my money, a solar cell is ideal
for the core of your problem. Even up Nawth, I expect a 12w one would
bring a battery up enough the start the engine in a few hours.

You're cruising. Why be in such a *hurry*?
