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.

Nope, don't run 'em in an "occupied" enclosed area. I ran it in a
detached barn that was 12 by 22 with one window open but I didn't spend
more than a few seconds in there at a time to start or stop it.

I did get co poison once, working at a site but I noticed as soon as I
started to feel a bit "drunk" and got out. I called my friend who was a
paramedic and he told me to get a lot of air but not to bother going to
the er because it was just a matter of time to get the co out of my
system and the er couldn't really do it any faster since I was not real
bad... I am very careful about it now, that's for sure.
