This is a 3600 rpm model...

After using a 1800 rpm model, I guess the only reason Westerbeke would design something like this, is that there is a cost/efficiency benefit associated with it for the application that requires this wattage output.
Perhaps to achieve this wattage at 1800 rpm it would require a heavier, more costly unit. 3600 rpm sounds like a "screaming" machine, but aside from being a bit noisy....no big deal. BTW, they do offer a soundshield for this unit.
