I Looped last year with similar electrical needs, except 3 12K btu AC units. My 8KW Onan / Cummins with a 3 cylinder Kubota engine is a good size. Mine runs at 1,800 rpm, has a sound shield, lift and secondary muffler. Compared to a number of other Looper boats I was on, it is very quiet in the boat, and extremely quiet outside. Had a couple of canal side situations were shore power didn't work. Nice to be able to run the generator and nobody hears it to complain.
