Agreed but if you go down the route of my preferred option, Large battery bank and big inverters and a direct charging 24v genset you wouldn't have to run a genset at all except to charge the batteries. This would mean that you could sit in peace and quiet when moored and could run the genset at any time not when you need the power. It would also mean that the genset would always be fully loaded when on and would therefore not suffer from any light use problems.
