Ive got to put together a charging system for my thunderbird 26, and
my engine consists of an outboard without an alternator. If bang for

you think you'd get more charging amps by hooking up a generator to a
charger, or taking a similar sized stationary engine and hooking it
up to as many alternators as it could handle? Is there another
option?

You can buy generator "packs" which are enclosed in heavily-silenced
enclosures for small boats/yachts. Most are diesel, and will tuck away under
a berth with exhaust outlet etc. thru-hull.
