I wonder if Doug got real Raycor filter/seprators for ~$300/ear or if he went knockoff filter on amazon for $50? Feel the fear and do it anyways? https://www.amazon.com/Marine-Filter-Separator-Assembly-DDZ113-FF-500FH/dp/B0B8G1FNX1/
Leave it to Doogie... Looks like his webbing is imparting a twist on the block. Doog never ceases to amaze me. https://www.amazon.com/Indusco-16900091-Single-Manila-Capacity/dp/B00CFU5MWO/ 2800# Hemp rope block perhaps too Chinesium for Harbor Freight?
I did, yesterday I answered part of his questions and posted an article that makes clear the complete answer is complicated. The article contains more than enough information for interested individuals to do further research into the subject.

Can highly recommend if you are looking for a more thorough answer.
A simple formula to calculate the drag of random boats simply does not exist.
I don't see any reason to go for an RV unit. I think a window mounted unit would be a better choice.
Neither one is protected against corrosion, having the AC tucked under the roof would keep some sun off of it, and would prevent it from shading the solar panels, and I suspect that a window unit has a higher COP than a rooftop unit. The best case scenario would for sure be to use the raw water rather than the air to dump waste heat but with that you are either buying an expensive marine solution or doing a lot of fabrication on an expensive DIY solution.
