[C320-list] air condition

[Allan S Field]

Tom - Depending on where you are located, A/C can be the best investment you
can make.  For us, on the Chesapeake Bay, A/C changed out boat into a summer
home.  We went with a 12,000 BTU CruisAir system about 12 years ago and have
never had an issue with it.  It is essentially a reverse-cycle heat pump
that gives us heat until the water temp gets below at 37 and good A/C all
through the hot months.  Our install is in the port large locker.  That
said, if doing it again or for the first time, I would be looking at the
installs that Warren Updike and Bruce Stumpp did on their C320's.  There may
be pix out on the website.

Hi All , What is the most current thought on installing a/c in a 320 ? I am

I took the panels out and the folding
oor also.  Keeps the boat so much cooler.  I made adjustable curtains or all
three openings hung with bungee cords, which would give v berth leepers a
little privacy and hide storage.  Photo available on request.
 was told they quit making the cutouts because of the expense, cut, trim
pening, make panels etc.
