The crazy thing about the GB is that they've installed an
AC stove. So...without the generator running, there's no cooking going on
(unless one travels marina-to-marina).


A lot of power boats have electric stoves and it is convenient to not
worry about carrying stove fuel. It was a real issue on our old boat
which only had one generator. We used to carry one of the little one
burner butane stoves as emergency backup. We now have a backup
generator on the new boat and end up using every now and then.
