I've often pondered this as well.  When I was at the Annapolis boat  
show looking at water makers a few of the manufacturers pushed me  
toward the AC versions and high capacity.  The reason??  They said  
some people just ran the genset for a few hours every morning, you  
know top off the battery's, warm(or cool) the boat a bit, and make  
some water.  KInd of sounded reasonable to me, but then again I've  
never had one and will be listening intently on your opinions.
