Thanks folks. Everyone! Great suggestions and I appreciate the kind words. A few things that I haven’t mentioned. Everyone’s right about the generator. I’ll carry a 2000w yamaha inverter genny and the ship is rigged for 30A shore power. Recharging will be handled that way. I have a Webasto 9000btu marine ac unit to install so a genny has to be part of the equipment.
Bill W brought up a good point about “salt water capable”. Bill, you mentioned the 80s OMC as this being one of the reasons. Does this factor rule out the older OMC engines? Are the built with parts that can’t take the salt?

The older type motors were used in every type water, but you will have to flush them out and hose them off before storage. They don’t do as well if they are kept in the salt water for extended periods such as at a marina. The later motors are made to endure the salt a little better, but they are a more complex to work on.
