Mase 2.7 Generator Availability

[Eric R]

Hey all! We have been working up a deal on a beautiful 2014 Cutwater 26. As part of the deal the dealership was going to install a generator, radar and inverter. We paid our deposit, did a sea trial, lined up and inspection and were ready to go. Then I got the dreaded phone call that they couldn't seem to find a place to get the generator from! Something to do with new emissions standards or something? Ugh.

Does anyone happen to know where a Mase 2.7 could be purchased? Without a generator we are going to have to pass on the purchase of this boat and start our search over again.

Thanks!

Is the stove electric or propane? As I always say everyone has different preferences. If you look at many boats with generators the hours used is quite low. Do you really need one? Been boating for quite a few years and with having an inverter I can't say that I don't have a need for a generator. One less item to maintain and more storage room. If your stove is propane you are golden. You may want to reconsider.

I dealt with the importer:

Mase Generators of North America LLC
3125 John P Curci Dr #6, Hallandale Beach, FL 33009, USA

They are helpful, friendly and understanding.

I know nothing about EPA restrictions on this generator - it uses a one cylinder Yanmar and seems to work without excessive smoking.

If you pass on the C-26, please let me know. I've been trying to trade my R-25 for a C-26 and think this was one of the boats I bid on - but, like a prom date, the dealer held out for a better buyer. I don't mind being second best if you pass.

Good luck with your C-26, Mase offered to install the generator on the C-26 for me if I could talk the dealer into selling it to me. You might check with them, I'm sure they would sell you one and put it in your boat.

Electric. It's definitely a preference thing. Our current boat (24' Sea Ray Sundancer) doesn't have a generator either and we feel it limits us a bit. We are looking for a change of boating style and feel that with a generator we can have a lot of comforts at anchor (and while underway on those really hot/humid days we get here), like AC.

Thanks! I will definitely reach out to them and see what they say, and will let you know if we pass on this particular boat. Was it the one in Grasonville, MD? 😀

I believe this is one of the boats we looked at. We have a 25 Ranger with a generator and air conditioning and we love the boat but I find it a bit difficult to get it out of the bunk at our age.

We were looking to trade our Ranger and some money for the boat you're looking at. I don't think the dealer was interested in a boat for trade. But if you decide to pass on the Cutwater and want to very similar boat with a generator, we would be happy to buy the boat you're looking at and sell you ours.

If you think you would only use the generator a several days each season you might consider a portable generator instead. We have a Honda 2000 for use in my hanger and may take it on the boat when we plan to stay on hook in one place for several days at a time. It's small and quiet. Doesn't add extra weight to the boat when not needed and seems simple to use. I don't have a/c to power. Nor do I have a solar panel to help keep the batteries full. The Honda seems to have enough power to cover most everything besides an a/c - including our small tabletop microwave. Well, maybe not everything else all at once that is!

The Honda will not run the A/C though.

We did consider this option, but as knotflying said, it wouldn't power the A/C which is a big deal for us. I always say that big guys and heat don't mix... at least with this big guy! :lol:

Stu - We are going to pass on the 26 and probably go with a new 28 instead. Let me know if you would like me to make an introduction about the 26. I would be happy to do so. We had done a sea trial prior to finding out they wouldn't be able to get the generator and everything went well. I tried to send you a PM but I'm not sure it went through since I'm still a fairly new member here.

We have 2015 SC25, the Honda 2000 will run the A/C with all other items off on breaker including the battery charger. Already had Honda 2000 set up with 30 amp for RV

Guess I didn't realize adding a generator after the fact was even feasible/practical. We have a honda 2000 and love it. Still thinking of getting a gen with a CW 28 anyway as we anchor a lot and looking more as the convenience aspect and to run A/C for east coast and southwest travels. If it is feasible then we might consider a one or two year old boat vs. new if that is the only thing missing although suspect we will end up new anyway.
