Dave just some random thoughts.
Yes I hear it's cheaper to have the genset fitted by SAS. I'm also thinking the 11kva
Lagoon offer is too big at circa 48amp @ 230v. Each 16,000btu aircon takes 5amps and then there is the
battery charger, hotwater,
washing machine,
watermaker etc that may run for a few hours but not all night leaving the genset massively under loaded if it's left on the run aircon overnight. A smaller genset circa 6-7kva and juggling the loads maybe a better option.
Inverter /
charger, I plan to go for a Victron 3kva because it has a programmable charge profile and dedicated
battery voltage sensing wire which may future proof me if I go for lithium batteries or other new tech latter on.
Solar panel mounting, I like the idea of some big
solar panels at the aft end of the
boat but would like to better keep the lines and look of the
boat. Maybe something more like a stainless
steel framed
Bimini extending over the aft end with the same color
fabric Lagoon uses and semi flexible
solar panels attached to that
fabric. Plus from the
cockpit you wouldn't be looking up at the bottom of the
solar panels.
50 vs 60hz, I've seen aircon units rated at 220-250v and 50 to 60hz. I'm not sure what Lagoon fits as standard. I note you will get aircon later so these unit if you can get them they maybe beneficial. I don't think hz makes a difference to your battery charger.
Washing machines etc are normally sensitive but can be fun from the
inverter or genset if needed.
Boom
furling, I'm not sure if I want this but understand it's far cheaper to get this done when the boat is masted. I'm not sure if Lagoon would give you a credit for the standard boom.
The Yamnar 57 have the option of a second 120amp, just curious if you were given a
price for that.
Good luck Dave. As
events unfold I'm interested in your thoughts on the options, the Lagoon build process, the commissioning and post factory options.

Here's our big ticket items:
Comfort pack
Alpi interior
Composite Bimini
All exterior upholstery
57hp's
Folding props
Watermaker
Electric heads
Washing machine
Dishwasher (both were non negotiable with my wife)
All the electronics but not TV
I thought the genny, tender, AC, solar panals, downwind sails were all too expensive thru Lagoon so we are sourcing them elsewhere.
