Eric,
What's wrong with it? Leaking freon?

Re: R22 Air compressor
If you are planning on keeping the boat awhile I would consider an A/C unit that will last.
Anything from Marine air, Wabasto, or dometic I would definitely avoid. If you just want a well built
solid unit that is not expensive take a look at Flagship Marine in Florida. Much better than the Domestic unit you are looking at. Best customer service in the business.
If you are willing to spend a little more, the top of the line is Frigomar. Variable speed compressor, excellent construction, and inverter based technology which will save you about 30% on your electric bill. I have these on my other boat and they are awesome units, probably last twice as long as anything else as well.

Re: R22 Air compressor
No, it cools fine. It's original 1966 equipment and the fans/air movement isn't optimal. I'll also upgrade controls and getting the compressor out of the engineroom will free up some valuable real estate. Pricey boat upgrades propel me in the direction of dying with a zero balance.

Re: R22 Air compressor
If this is annoying, ignore me because maybe you already made up your mind regardless and don't want to hear it after you already bought it. But if the system is working fine then there is an adapter module you can buy that lets you run the old blue cruisairs off the updated SMX-II and newer controllers without rewiring anything. My whole boat has had that done, and it works great. The old 3 knob controls, the fan speed being stuck at +/-70% of max and the knob only adjusting it slightly is a common complaint. Those controls just don't give you a lot of variation in the fan speed.
