I decided upon a modular marine refrigeration system which will allow me to build the type of frig freeze unit that I want. This unit weighs in at only 10 lbs and with proper box design, I plan on building a deep freeze to stockpile fish along the way. I'm hoping there will be a few fish left in the ocean come this summer when we launch.
Rather than use the conventional condensing unit, I opted for the "keel cooler". This dumps the heat that is being removed from the fridge / freezer into the water on the outside of the boat rather than inside the cabin interior. ( no need to have a heater in your boat when your in the tropics )
Unfortunately, this condensing unit weights approximately 1,200 lbs. is 4 ft tall and about 10 feet in length.

Yeah, not to mention the huge amount of drag that will produce!
You may be no faster than a monohull if you install that thing!
lol
