Default Need to retro fit A/C in 33ZX

I have an '04 33ZX and need to install A/C. Has anyone ever done this? If so, what kind of unit do I need and where did you mount it?

Do you know if the water pickup and shutoff valve is right there at the ac unit or in the back of the boat in the engine compartment? How about the discharge? Is it coming off from the ac unit right there at the unit or ran further back in the boat? Thanks

That's a good start for me. I'm thinking about getting a 6000btu unit. I am hearing about $3k for the install. I guess it will be worth it come august. Thx for the info

So decided to go with the ECD6.5btu by Dometic EnviroComfort Air.
There is a dealer in Chesapeake,VA called Lamy Marine that will install the system turn-key for $3700. It is very pricey, but I'm sure come 90deg + heat in the summer I will be thankful we went ahead and did it. Only thing that bothers me now is I will have very little storage space if any.
