FWIW, my 40MY has a a 16,000BTU Bridge/Cockpit AC and a 9KW generator; never had any power management problems. The AC works reasonably well in a space I imagine is larger than the 420DB although it does have a hardtop and glass windshield. She does have 240V/50A power which is suppose is the major difference.
Thanks Al for chiming in. This kind of feedback gives me more comfort level about the project. According to the formulas 16K BTU unit should be good enough for the job, but considering the greenhouse affect of the bridge boat with soft top I understand that the larger size units would be a better fit.
Have you ever heard about Ocean Breeze brand, by any chance?
