Very nice, I need to look at my boat for a spot for the unit. I never thought about running one off an invertor, that opens up a lot of possibilities. I'll look into the dimensions of the new smaller units.
With two AGM batteries you can get about 2 straight hours of A/C before you gotta cut it off to avoid damage on the new units. In the real world on a small cuddy you'd probably get a solid day out of the batteries. It will only be on for a few minutes at a time.
A better option that I was looking at doing, is just.. buy an inverter generator. If you've never seen one in person you won't hear it over the A/C. You can put it on the swim platform and talk next to it without raising voice. Never have to worry about batteries.
