On advice from ppl in thsi group, I paid the big bucks for a good

Let us know how loud it is when you get it. We are looking for a
generator we can run in public, the contractors generator I have now
has got to be 75-80 db and I really don't want to run it in this tight
neighborhood like I did down on the shore where I had a detached barn
to run it in...

Running a generator in an enclosed space is never a good idea.

Regarding CO detectors, it's probably a good investment for any boat.
You can easily be overcome by your neighbors generator in an anchorage
with no wind. It happens. We've had a detector for over 10 years
and used to get occasional alarms on our old boat due to "station
wagon" effect when underway in a following wind.
