portable ac units.
 

Looking at a few mid 30' boats with decent overnighter cabins but they are lacking ac. For the few times a year we would overnight , it would be at powered slips. Can you use the small , somewhat portable ac units I have seen online for residential use or are there other portable options?

I dont know who makes them but there are portable/temp a/c units that sit on the deck thru the deck hatch. Blow in the cabin and vent thru the outside. Great idea.

cruiseair makes carryon a/c units.i have one.it is 4800btu.my cabin is small,but this thing rocks,at times i have to turn it off.i think air to air a/c units give you a better temp change,but on board a/c units are a whole lot more conveient.the guy i got this a/c unit from used it on his 357 foumula and cool great.

I have a 5kbtu I used it a few times on my Hustler,works good,a 1850 coleman prot gen will run it good also,beoch putting on the deck.you can find them cheap used,My buddy likes borrowing mine all the time,I found him one a craigslist for 250 and told him about it,he wouldnt buy it.Typical:grinser010:

it does make water and runs off the deck.


cruisair carry on air conditioner

I have a Velocity 260, so the cabin is not terribly big. I overnight only a couple of times a year, I might try one of thoses $40.00 units. Seems like a decent idea and may work well in a smaller cabin. Worst case, out 40 bucks and a couple of bags of ice....

I saw one at homedepot 30" tall 18" portable cooles 400 sq. foot i have a 38 baja going to try it price 230.00 runs 0n 110 volt discharge are will go out hatch window going to make a plate with a 4" hole

i read somewhere,,someone just left the window a/c unit on the dock pluged in,,,and just ran a hose blowing the cold air inside,,,he could use the hatch or the door for the hose,,

A few friends of mine just use the small home window a/c units.
