generators

[Tim]

I'm thinking about moving to a mooring next season rather than and slip and have been looking at some new, very small and light generators for occasional battery charging, running power tools, etc:coleman: www.ultimite.comhonda: http://www.honda-generators.com/generators/lightweight/eu1000i.htmlharbor freight: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/taf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=35286Does anyone have experience with these? In particular how noisy are they?Thanks,

see PS article

Practical Sailor did a review of generators within the past year. This is a valuable resource.

Found a cheap one

We just purchased an 800 kW - 1000 kW peak generator from Damark. It is a Chinese 2 cycle job but seems to work just fine. It is not too noisy either.RegardsKarls/v CyberSail
