Small Generators for cruising...


I've been hearing a LOT of good buzz about the Honeywell 2000 watt generator...

In specs and suchlike it seems an awful lot like the Honda 2000 which we have been using for years with great results. Judging from the number of other boats with the Honda 2000 it has become something of the standard for cruising boats and as we have had such good luck I'd be inclined to go with the Honda again.

That said, I'm still very interested in taking a look at the new Honeywell as well as the Kipor 2000 ( which for all practical purposes is a straight up clone of the Honda) and as Kipor has a 2600 watt generator which just might be of interest as it has just that little extra oomph and that would be no bad thing for us electric propulsion folks.
