Replacing an AC Unit


My original AC unit, 1987 Carver Aft Cabin, has finally called it quits. Time to replace. Before dropping the $1500 for a new 16,000 BTU unit, I was going to ask experts out there is it really necessary to run AC all summer to help with the fiberglass hull of a boat? Heard opinions both ways. The reason I am asking was I was looking at getting a $400 portable unit that vents out the sliding window to use when I stay aboard and only run the unit when I am there vice all the time. I live in DC, gets humid in July/Aug but figured I could run fans when I am not there and I have window shades to help keep inside cool. Any thoughts?? Thanks in advance!!
