Some things to consider. I read and wasn't sure what you already owned.

A split AC setup would be very efficient, Built in soft start, might last longer than a rooftop a/c and be much quieter(I have a rooftop 12k btu coleman) and it's crazy loud. the downside is you'd have to mount the compressor somewhere on deck. They are popular in the islands and i've seen many with brackets hanging off the back of the flybridge for space(doesn't look great).

My portable 8k BTU LG doesn't use much energy and puts out tons of cold air. Just as much as the 12k rooftop, less than half the price, and quieter. I suspect an honda 2000 would run it no problem.

Harbor freight sells inverter generators that get really good reviews.. Should cost half as much as a Honda(if you don't already own one).
