One more alternative is to power it from the boat, but I'm guessing you don't have excess power available there. Still might be worth...

Ask around. There are lots of 30a cords with failed boat ends out there. But otherwise, yes. I built a similar 50a 240v panel and...

I've spent quite a bit of time cruising around Louisiana. Katrina took out New Orleans and most of coastal MS, then Rita hit the state...

Get that in writing. I don't think you'll find any codes that allow this practice.

A few hundred? Anyone spending that amount of time maintaining woodwork on the boat mentioned is doing it out of choice, not necessity.

Congratulations. You'll find lots of support here for that boat. I had a sister ship that I put a lot of miles on. Great boat. It...
