FLAGSHIP MARINE (Price New $2,799)

This is a rare opportunity to get a like-new air conditioning unit for ~1/3 of it's manufacturer price.

The self contained air conditioning unit is practically like new.  Unit was installed in the (clean/dry) interior salon of a large motor yacht and very lightly used for less than 1 year before the owner decided to replace the ships systems with a central chiller unit.

FLAGSHIP MARINE Air Conditioning Units (see Manufacturer's Website at flagshipmarine dot com) are commercial quality units that are the favorite for Coast Guard and Navy Patrol boats.  These ultra-hi quality marine air conditioners focus on durability with very little maintenance and very easy/cheap repair profiles by design.

FLAGSHIP MARINE'S PHILOSOPHY is to use 100% Standard "Hardware Store" Components in its control units and they boast that every component of their control unit can be purchased at a local hardware or supply store for less than $30.  Likewise their thermostat lead is a standard house 4-wire thermostat, and their supplied thermostat can be replaced with any standard house thermostat.  This is in stark contrast to the "major" boat air conditioner manufacturers, who build expensive proprietary circuit boards and thermostat units, and make virtually all of their profit selling these high-failure replacement parts at dramatically over-inflated prices.

HEATING UNIT:
As an added advantage, this unit uses a coil-type heating unit placed in the blower outflow to provide on demand heat in all environments.  This has several advantages:
   1. The number one (and most expensive) point of failure of so-called "reverse cycle" heating (installed on most boats) is the failure of the of the cycling unit on the condenser.  This is a frequent thousand dollar repair that can be entirely avoided with electric heat such as this unit has.
   2. Reverse cycle heat installed on most boats with CEASE TO WORK when the water temperature falls below ~45 degrees.  If you are in northern latitudes you will have NO heat on your boat in the winter, unless you have a unit such as this installed.
   3. The failure of your AC water pump will stop your air conditioner and will prevent you from having any heat whatsoever, unless you have a unit such as this installed.
   4. Haul your boat out for the winter to work on it?  When your boat is out of the water it will stop your air conditioner and will prevent you from having any heat whatsoever, unless you have a unit such as this installed. 
   5. Winter time space heaters are the NUMBER ONE CAUSE of vessel fires in colder areas, and (in many cases) use of such a heater will invalidate your insurance policy, unless you have a unit such as this installed.
