A good friend of mine did this last year...Hand trucks to the boat every trip. Picked up a used water cooled machine and keeps it in his garage, the cooling water trickle waters his garden. Makes up to 400#/day and is pretty quiet.
I can do it as well I just don't want to become an ice mover. I want to expend my energy reeling in abnormally large fish and digesting great food and also for bedroom activities.
(in that order!!)
I almost bought a comm ice machine last year, maybe this winter I will pull the trigger. I still keep thinking I can install the head on-board and keep it somewhat free of salt...but I hear what you are saying, some of the components on these things are light duty steel and will rot out damn quick if exposed to a lot of salt air. But OH! whould it be nice to come down to the boat in the morning, open the fishbox and see 300# of fresh cubes in there!?!
These sea-ice machines start at $10K
