Generator Question

[shadow]

Anybody have a Yamaha 2400IS? I know alot of people have the Hondas.
I'm looking at the Yamaha 2400IS & Honda EU2000i

[Boatcop]

We just bought the Honda EU200i for our Dept. Pontoon Boat.
No problems, and powers just about everything we need.

[DUCKY]

Yamaha doesn't have a history of building junk, so I am sure the quality is there. I have to imagine, however, that you will be happier buying maintenance parts for the Honda over at A&B Supply, than for the Yami at Walt's.....

Big stereo on the new boat?

Thanks BC! What kind of stuff do you run off the Genny?
SWB No huge stereo this time,I'm more interested in powering a blender,TV/DVD. Charging the system would also come in handy for long weekends of cove camping.
Ducky,I've always had good luck at Walts but now that i know A&B carries
That type of stuff i'll check them out.
Do they carry Hondas?

Sadly we did away with "Old Sparky". :( A needle in the arm just doesn't give the same effect.
Actually we power floodlights, under water-equipment (Video, metal detector, Sonar, etc) At 200 watts, we haven't even come close to loading it up.
Quiet, too. You can carry on a normal conversation right next to it while it's under load.
Shop around. I've seen them as high as $1,600 bucks. We got ours for around $1,000.

I have the yamaha 2600 and like it alot :D

[FORCEINU]

Where can I get that deal for $750 give the phone number I"m interested The lowest Price I have seen is $850 free shipping. 1888-617-7333

I have had the yamaha 3000 for several years and love it. The honda 2000's would have taken 2 to run my camper AC where this thing does it. Its actually 3500 for start up because it uses the start battery for a while. Its quite and peeers like a kitty cat. Can run it at night and not have anyone complain. I don't think you can go wrong with either of them.

Thanks everyone for the input!:)

from what i have read is that the yami will power an a/c unit.But if this is just for the boat then go with the smaller honda 2k

[Big Kahunaa]

i bought 1 from checkers a 5800?(yellow and black)it works killer and was like 400$?.it will run my house and i can pick it up put it the rhino and go all over the ranch and have power, starts on 1st pull:)
i have the 3500 they do work good i was suprised

And if you really shop around, you can get one for $750.
I have not seen one that low but I have purchased 5 from Mayberrys.com.
The are like around $879 delivered. No tax if out of state (they are mid west I think). Excellent customer service.

You have to call them for a price. Honda has an internet pricing policy that prevents them from advertising the price.
I personally could not find one cheaper. They are on all my trucks. Run and run, and yes very quiet.
I have only two with an add on digital hour meter totalizier. My #2 unit has almost 2200 hrs on it. Runs the same as when purchased.

We have all seen what happens if the sponge under the cap is left dry.:eek: :)

[Magic34]

I had the Honda to power my A/C and also hooked up to the onboard charger at the same time.
I was happy with the Honda. Still have it. I have only used it 1 time since selling the boat, but love having it around for the enclosed trailer and powering the compressor for the Rhino trips I never take.:)
It powered my compressor with no problems. Everything you want to run, the Honda would be great. I went with the 2000 becuase it would run for 8 hours on 1 tank.
If everyone does a raft up for a night once it cools off, count me in. Bring 40' of coax cable and you can have satellite too. :D

The Honda EU line are the best generators out there.
I am working on replacing most of the small generators in my rental fleet with EU units, because they have been so good to us............and remember, nobody says........"Be gentle Bob, Its a rental."...............so they can take a beating.
I can beat the deals on the EU2000's.........if you want one.........email me, I have two in stock right now......... msvatos@ur.com keep the money in the family!!!
EU3000's are great.........this is what we use when we chase in Mexico.....runs a wire feed welder just perfectly.........so I guess I can say they are "Baja Proven"......sounds gay, but its true.
They now even make a EU6500.........and it is just as quiet as the EU3000's........I just bought 2 of them for my renal fleet.....just got them last week, and I have several people interested in buying them, already.......
I will be in Havasu this weekend, and would really like a reason for the company to pay for my gas there, so let me know if I should bring you a EU2000.........you know.....company business.....

PM me a price for the EU2000. Can i wire up a remote push button start with this one pretty easy?

[THOR]

I have a Honda Eu2000 that I used for one season to power a trailer. I no longer use it though since I bought a motorhome. I worked fantastic and was very quiet.

[Havasu Luvr]

The EU2000I is a recoil start only that I know of. but I guess anything is possible:D Just remember Juan's name when you want him to start it.:sqeyes:

[kap]

If possible can you PM me with price and terms.
I live in San Diego or delivery in Yuma whatever is easiest.
Used is Ok just not beat up.
Thanks Kap

I am very interested in getting one of the honda generators for my shore power charger on my boat for the stereo. Please PM me a price, whoever has one either new or used (shrek).

[Baja Big Dog]

Remote start wont work, they only have a pull start, the 3000 is electric start.
I run two of them (2000's), they will run an A/C in a trailer or motor home if the parallel plug is used, around 100 bucks.

I used the EU2000 but it could not keep up with my stereo. Had it taken out and just added some big amp charger to charge everything overnight.
