I have a 2000 watt portable Generac I bring along. It will run the fridge, AC and battery charger all at the same time, but that is a big load for it.

Very nice Bob. I could spend a week on that boat pretty comfortably.

My Mainship Mk1 has Downeast attributes.

Dig your boat and it's trailerable to boot. You lucky dog.

The best part about trailerable boats is this, we purchased the boat in
June ... so far we have put over 60 hours on her. She has been in the Gulf of Mexico, well over 150 nm on the upper Mississippi River, and we just got back today from a trip to Lake Michigan, exploring Milwaukee to Racine and back. We have experienced swells, chop, 4 foot waves with an occasional 6-er , 20 plus knot winds, 4 knot current and of course more pleasant conditions. The little big boat is comfortable and easy enough for a couple to handle. The versatility is exactly what we were looking for, visiting the Gulf, the Missy, and a Great Lake all in a little over a month. Trailerable trawlers are awesome!

We do similar things in our boat. Had it on Lake MI a couple of weeks ago. On the way home spent a night each on two different lakes. One in OH and one in PA. Had the boat on many other bodies of water in the past (including different places on the same large body).

IMO, way better than a slipped boat where you cruise the same area over and over and over ....
