I have to agree. Mine isn't on the boat but at my house. I got mine from Home Depot for around $350 and it works very well. It's one of the new versions which don't have to be drained. Yes the hose gets hot, but not that hot. I would suggest if you are going to install it on the boat that you get some of the R-Max foam insulation and build a little box out of it to wrap the hose in, then get the hose run/R-Max box as short as possible to the outside.

The way to avoid the hot air referred to by one correspondent is to ensure that the exhaust hose goes directly outside and that the port that you use should be stuffed with an old "T" shirt or similar. Do that and you can freeze your posterior off. Don't do it and you are in Death Valley. In fact, the exhaust air is an excellent clothes dryer and might do damage to some plastics. If you have difficulty getting your installed A/C units fixed (leaks) this Sharp is an affordable stop-gap measure. Anyhow, George the Golden Retriever is very happy and not panting - mostly.
