Cruisair 12-volt Air Conditioning Unit
Does anyone know anything about these units. I would think that 3500BTU would be plenty for the cabin of my Bullet.

They had a small write up in the latest powerboat mag. You will probably need a extra battery or two just to run these.

Yes, I plan to add two more batteries in my Bullet to run the A/C unit.
However, would I be better off getting a true 12-volt system, or buying a 115 system and an inverter. I know the inverter would add to my costs, but I would be able to also use the 115-volt outlets that currently only work when I am connected to Shore Power.

you're better off installing a regular unit and running a portable 4 stroke generator. my honda 2000 plugs into my shorepower with an adapter, and will run my a/c, fridge, and battery charger for 7+ hours on 1 gallon of gas.

Yes, that is a option for over-nighting, but not a very workable solution for daytime rafting up in the cove.
