And don't forget cooling. A 200A alternator is going to generate a lot

alternator and you need to pipe air into the engine space.

Good points. In the end you may find that a generator coupled to an
inverter/charger has a lot to recommend it.

Will a 4 cyl 4-154 Perkins turn it and the prop simultaneously, or will we
have to wait for the batteries to come up before coming out of neutral on
the tranny??
