Default Cost to retrofit A/C, Gen and Shorepower on '00 38' Lightning???

Has anyone had this done either by Fountain or a reputable shop? If so, who did it AND what was the ballpark cost for each (i.e. A/C installed, Gen installed, Shorepower installed)? Finally, what size and brand A/C and Gen and are you happy with the results?

I am tired of carrying on the hatch A/C (although it works well) and am considering dragging the boat to several different lakes this summer, so may be staying overnight on the water rather than in a marina.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks Blume! I appreciate the help.

I have talked w/ Leon before and used to keep my boat on Texoma, so am familiar with their work. Didn't know they also did A/C, Gen, etc. but just checked out their website and they have it listed on there.

Do you really think only $10 - 12k for A/C and Gen? Great if so, but I figured just the A/C would be close to $10k. That would be the first time I've underestimated the cost of something for a BOAT, so I hope you're right!! I'll give Leon a call.

Again, thanks for the help.
