So, it is Monday of Memorial Day weekend and I'm sitting here wondering about systems in our boat to be, the American Tug 395.
As I can't contact anyone with "authority" this morning I thought I'd fire away with my question here...
It appears that American Tug equips these boats with 2 air conditioning units. Certainly the older 34/365's have 16,000 and 12,000 BTU units installed (from my research on yachtworld) ... The 395 comes standard with a 6kw Northern lights generator too and that would suggest a maximum of 2 air conditioner's. The AT website lists 26,000 BTU's of capacity for east coast models.
Is 26,000 (or 28,000) BTU's enough? Seems like a lot of boat for that amount.
We have a 16,000 BTU system on our 38' sailboat and it is fine but I'm simply wondering.... We will certainly take the boat south into Florida once or twice.
Any thoughts?
