Air Conditioners

[Stephen Butler]

Our C34 is based in Tampa Bay, and for the next few years, the only time we have on her is during the summer months (not the best of times, we know).  We have used a CruiseAir hatch a/c unit for the past 4 years when in a marina, but with only approximately 8000 Btu, it is not a comfortable solution.  So, we either upgrade to a proper built-in a/c unit, or leave the boat on the hard for 3 to 4 years.  We have done our research on this site, and are wondering if there is something new out on the market, or some recent experiences that have not yet made it to the Forum.  Any advice/help, product recommendation, etc., would be appreciated.  Also, due to our current location (Kazakstan), we would like to have a dealer/yard/manufacturer do the installation so it is ready to go, when we arrive in June...any installation suggestions/experience in the Tampa Bay area?
