Does a boat with a genset and a good AC battery charger like the OP really need a large alternator? If Seevee arrives at his achorage with fully charged batteries (I'm assuming), doesn't that mean that his alternator is sufficient?

This is precisely how our vessel operates. Two 90 amp alternators neither with a Balmar nor Leece Neville tag. Works fine for us and the 8 US made Trojan 105s.
Seevee is close to a good setup, just have a compatible BMK installed to manage the energy use. Magnum makes wonderful BMKs.
