Tim,
Go ahead and pony up the extra cash for the 2000. You will not be
disappointed. Light, quiet, efficient. We run a 8000 btu A/C all
night down here in the Louisiana tropics in our aluminum cruiser (1965
insulation is nil). I got mine at:

These guys were very efficient and provided fast shipping. I just
checked the site and they are out of this gen until mid-August. Must
be because they are so good at selling them.
