    Air conditioning on a mooring ball or anchoring. The boat will be in SE Florida and Bahamas. Hopefully the weather will be cool enough, but it will be nice to have "Options".

    Lead Acid vs. Lithium- New Build

    Question - New build. We have the option to install lithium batteries instead of typical marine batteries. Boat is 50', 1 refrigerator,1 freezer, 2 electric toilets,full compliment of B&G Electronics, water maker. Does it make sense?
