and worst case scenario you have to start one engine for 15 minutes to charge batteries back up.

Whatever makes you and your family happy do it!
Who cares what some douchbag with a boat thinks most are tools themselves.

I wouldn't charge the batteries with the alternator. The batteries or alternator well not like it. A stand alone charger would be a better bet. When you get home charge the batteries. The batteries and alternator will last longer.

Evidently you have never been next to this person in a tie up....they look stupid. Every couple hours have to make sure noone is around the rear of the boat...and then listen to him/her rev the motors enough to get the alternator to put out a decent charge, drowning out whatever good tunes and good times are happening. Its annoying and it ruins the mood of a nice relaxing day.
