Default Adding A/C Heat unit to Nor-tech Cat what the best unit to buy?

What the best A/C and heat unit that might hold up in a Nor-tech 3600 super cat. I have a customer that wants 1 installed and I already know that calling Nor-tech will get me nowhere and waste over a month of my time....sorry had to get that out.

4 of us installed AC's in our boats some 6-7 yrs ago. 32 & 42 Fountain, 35 Cafe, 32 Baja
All Mermaid units and none have ever had problems.

I only have experience with installing two but from a residential/commercial hvac guy perspective I really like the features and quality of the Webasco units.

A little update, now it has to be a A/C and heat unit.


My customer looked at the Marine Air Systems, anybody know them or have used them?

I have that in my cruiser. No problems there either, not that I'm out getting air with it all the time. Biggest concern is having the right sized air flow, both in and out. The best system is worthless with undersized flow.
Is he wanting electric heat or R/C?
