On our previous boat, a C&C 27, we mounted a small flexible solar panel to the companionway hatch, and had a small controller wired to it, along with a battery combiner. It was sufficient to keep a Series 27 and 2 batteries from powered wheelchairs charged. I used those same batteries for going on 7 years before I sold the boat.
We spent a lot of weekends on the boat, and would not hesitate to take it for a week or so cruising on Lake Michigan. We did not have shore power or a charger on the boat other than running the engine. Of course, we did not have AC. However, we did have a flat panel TV, a decent stereo, autopilot, fans, lights, etc. I'd agree that the 24 is too small to install A/C. Hope this helps, Bruce Whitmore 1994 C&C 37/0+ "Astralis" (847) 404-5092 (mobile) [email protected]
