I did install the AC just as you are planning. I made a wall from 3/4 Birch ply, and matched the stain to the teak. I installed a vent at the back end of the cockpit. Also, installed a bilge blower sucking the air out of the locker threw the vent. So far no issues from 3 nights of using it. I will say, the bilge blower that I am using it very loud. Dont want to disturb the other boats. Keep the cabin cool all night. So with that being said, the biggest concern is the noise. Which, I could purchase another blower which could be quieter. And for 100 bucks, if it lasts 2 years, I will go right back to Lowes and buy another. BTW, doesnt look half bad or out of place.
But also, if you dont mind it being in the companionway, thats probaly better. More venting, the longer it will last.
