Don't forget the galvanic isolater, panel with main disconnect with reverse polarity indicator, safety ground wire running from your panels neutral bar to your motor ground stud. Isn't the same as wiring a house, but not hard if you know the safety rules.
A buudy has a 6500 in his Cafe and it'll freeze you out. Going to big of unit and it will cycle on/off to much, not removing the humidity. It's gotta run some in order to do it's job.

This is the one I have had on 2 different boats: Mermaid 5200 Looks like about $1200 for ac and $1375 for ac/reverse heat. You have to get the installation kit. I did find all this on Craigslist 3 years ago for my other boat.

That amp draw looks really low for a 12v system, which means the overall wattage is off. I am not sure they will cool as well as they claim. 600 watts making 6000 btu at 12volts? hmmm
I plan to integrate one of these into my boat http://www.ebay.com/itm/Danby-5000-B...370#vi-content
Run the duct work out to the gunwhale, drain out the sink drain to the side of the boat. The base of the unit can be cut down to help fit.
Not sure if you have a boat junkyard around, but if so ask someone to sell you the shore power system out of a junk cruiser. My friend added shorepower to a 23 glasstron (I know, I know) with shorepower from a wrecked boat, he paid $25 bucks for it with a galvanic iso!

When you say duct work, I assume you mean exhaust. Can you elaborate on exactly how you will do it? Are you running the duct work all the way to the bilge or something like that? Thanks!
