If I were planning on putting a generator in a boat I'd "ping" Larry
as he recently described a new model Honda that apparently is a DC
generator and an inverter combined. Larry says that he uses one and it
is quite and efficient.


Unfortunately that is not a marine generator that can be installed
below decks, nor it is a diesel.

Technically untrue. You can create an isolated compartment and vent
overboard.

I don't think Glenn's goal can be achieved on a small boat without silly
compromises. Frex, I could create the compartment, sound proof it, etc,
but then he'd lose his fuel tank, etc.
