New Northern Lights Generator Price

[captbuddy]

Just got off the phone with a dealer asking about a small generator for my boss's boat. During the conversation they stated instead of the 5kw they had a 8 kw in stock still in the grate 2006 model they would let me have for $7,895. That sounds like an outstanding price. Was already thinking about changing out my old Onan. Can anyone give me any insight to this price. Great or not so great.
Thanks,

Does that include a sound shield and/or remote panel? If not, how much more for those items?

Good questions. Didn't ask either but I don't think I'll be getting another sound shield anyway. I guess I need to find out if the remote panel comes with it. Getting the price of a remote panel.
Thanks,

I bought the 9kw (same engine and weight as the 8kw) three years ago, it has just under 2500hrs now with zero issues, great generator. I purchased the factory sound shield too, it's ultra quiet and easy to service.

Mike,
If you don't mind me asking, what price did you have to pay for the 9 kw?

Just got a call back with a price on the remote panel. Quoted me $485.00 for the SC3 model remote panel.

I was afraid you were going to ask that question, my recipts are buried in the spare room. I'll try to find it but if I remember correctly it was just under 9K with the remote panel (the one with gauges) and the next generation sound shield. If you wait for a boat show deals can be made.
