Would the Induction type cook top may a good replacement to the Electric/Alcohol combo? I just bought a Mainship 34 1984 and not very happy with the E/A combo!

15A at 110v does not include 10% or so loss from the inverter.
t best that 15A/110V will translate to a minimum of 150A at 12V which is a heck of a load on a house battery set.

will a Honda 2000 have enough umph to supply the power to a inductor cooktop?
I used the word "inverter" to mean a small gasoline-powered inverter-generator.
Most folks in the USA would call that a genset ,or generator not an inverter.

Whisper Power has introduced a shipping product that does just that - variable speed generator that had a black box that massages the power to a perfect 120 VAC/60 hz. Plus, these units can be ganged together for more power. Plus, the black box is the battery charger and inverter - if you're plugged in to shore and your loads exceed available current, this device inverts some battery power adding it to your shore power. Or starts the generator when battery is not sufficient. Works on any shore power world wide.

The Honda eu2000i is rated for 2000W peak/1600W continuous. This translates to 13.3 amps continuous (120V). If you really need 1800W continuous for the induction cooktop, the Honda eu2000i won't cut the mustard.
Yamaha has the EF2400 which is rated for 2400W peak/2000W continuous. This would be a better choice for an 1800W load.

I think it take alot of amps, like 30 to 40 whcih most boats do not have. On a boat you have to watch the amp demand.
so the maximum heat would be 1800 watts, which translates into about 15 amps at 110 volts.

Frankly unless the boat has an extraordinary house bank , the set will be dead in under an hour.
