That may work for some boats, but mine has an isolation transformer on the input that needs to 'see' 240/250 volts. So if I can't find two outlets on opposite phases, I am out of luck and have to run the genny. The transformer also has an automatic boost function, so if the input is a little low, it will step up the voltage by about 15%.
There are always exceptions. I understand the need for voltage boost, but why woud they need an isolation transformer for the entire system? That has to be one expensive transformer!
