Hi Dmorty,
Thank you so much for sharing your system. I have a generator already ordered from Cabela's. They have the Champion 2000 on sale right for $399. I know it's not anywhere near the durability & quality of a Honda, but for now it will have to do. Now shopping for a small freezer. You must have a really good sized boat (and a strong back )

to be able to lug a 5 cu ft model. We only have a 17 ft Crestliner, so I'm looking to get a 3 cu ft. Have you tried making small ice blocks from ziplock bags filled with lake water?They just might freeze overnight- I'm going to give that a shot.
