For a narrow boat I installed a 3kW inverter (with surge capability),
150A alternator and 4 100Ah batteries. It can be done though
challenging. I doubt you'll have the space to fit a second alternator.


Snag is many motors if rated at nominally under 13 amps take a great deal
more when starting. Not a problem for a normal mains supply - but an
inverter or even generator may not like this.
