It then exits with a Salisbury flap. This setup uses water for cooling the exhaust as well as the heat exchanger for the engine.

It will be strapped onto the swim platform. I have seen this done before and have talked to a couple of people here on OSO that have used one like this.
If it doesn't work, I will still have a good generator for many other uses.
I will keep everyone posted.

Approximately, what size is this unit? Both in footprint and height.
Thanks.

Wow. That's quite reasonable, both in weight and price. I never really looked into it, but I imagined them being much heavier and more expensive.
