Kevin,
Absolutely agree.
I have made my boat more efficient with solar panels and a 3000 w/24 V/70 A Victron inverter/charger but still don't mind running my generator when required.
We cruise in the tropics and sub tropics but I don't have AC as I have lived in this climate zone all my life and don't require it.
A nice breeze thru the windows is great and fans if required.
I would definitely leave the inverter alone as it may come in handy on the days when you don't require AC.

I have had 3 Victron Inverter / Chargers and all have been terrific and no problems.( the first 2 have been on sold at good prices)
I have just progressed up as I have increased the loads and requirements on the boat over the years.
Cheers
Benn
