Sounds like a potentially "good" idea and getting a refurbished unit seems like the way to go. Talk to Raider, I know he has 2 ice machines @home and hauls ice.
Ice machines can be nothing but trouble.....especially on a boat near salt water? No ice plants on the Vineyard? I get ice from a local place that supplies ice to all the comm canteen trucks, very reasonable low $. 2nd option is the Ice Plant but $$ are 3-4X. 3rd option is the 10lb bags. These options still mean hauling ice but no where near headaches of having your own ice plant (on board).
