The idea of a pelzier based system seems the most logical for me, my ice box will be heavily insulated, have a section for block ice and I have cooling fans/heatsinks originally designed for computer harddrives but also used for ice boxes. Taking the "guts" of a lightly insulated pelzier cooler, adding more insulation and cooling power and suplementing that with ocasional ice (also the ice box is against the hull below the waterline).
In my galley refit I have gutted the entire galley all the way down to the inner hull (1/4" ceiling on top of 2" ribs, with 1" hull).
