I don't need 12kw...but I sure need more than 6kw....though I have thought about waiting till after the new propane cooktop install...the electric cooking is usually the killer.

It's also the way the boat is wired...like many with 2 ACs on one 30 amp circuit...if I split that up it would help but is still complicated for the "average crew" to understand load shedding prior to the cb popping. Much of last year I had a space heater on the AC circuit but still drove the crew crazy when I would tie up to a 30 amp and nothing else...having a 50 amp would force me more times to tie into that than just a single 30.
OK. The cooking with AC can definitely add the amps. We routinely use 3 burners plus the oven. I do like cooking with gas.
