Run, don't walk away from these boats. Who knows what else is jerry rigged? The thing about these Rube Goldberg generator installations, is EVERYTHING is half @ssed, the electrical, exhaust, fuel system, cooling, mounting.
I can't believe people buy an expensive boat, and then are too cheap to get a marine generator.

Marine gens are pretty pricey. Actually, really pricey.
From the looks the DCB is just using it to operate his battery charger. That'd make for a $10k charger if installed from factory.

Check out the A/C evaporator in between the genny and the riser. Also cool is the house hold receptacle and blue plastic box on his plywood contraption.
