Nauticool, talk to John B. I was told about $$3600 for the system and around $2000 for install.
From Johns E-mail
"The standard system is $3595.00 and installation ranges from $1000.00 to $2000.00 here at our location, depending on the difficulty level of the install."

This woukd not be had to do. I have never looked into aftermarket systems but if it was me I would look for one you can buld custom hoses so you can custom fit it to your system I know there are companys that make one for school busses. The hard part will be to get the condenser in a location that will alow air flow to it to do its job

Realistically, I dont see why you couldn't use an auto compresor (pulley changed for corect rpm), an auto dryer and evaporator. And the marine freon to water heat exchangers are simply a copper tube within a tube. If you couldn't salvage an old marine one, I would think you could make one.
Anyone want to try?

I have looked into this as well. MTI has had some problems with the nauticool systems and no longer offers it as an option. Gary did convert an automotive system for GC Motorsports that works well.
I think the best option is a 110V system with an inverter mounted in the storage space infront of the cockpit. Outerlimits uses this system in their GTX's, only they use 2 A/C units and one small generator. This is also what will go into Gold Digger as I understand it.
