What BTUs for Carver 1991 280 Sedan (12' Beam)


I want to add A/C to my 1991 280 Sedan (the 11' 10" beam model) this spring and I'm hoping for input from this board. I'll first say that this is a very big 28 foot boat with lots of windows, but my main concern is cooling in the forward State room for comfortable sleeping. Were outside most of the time during the day anyway, but trying to sleep in the forward state room after a hot sunny day is difficult. There is an accordion style door to separate that stateroom from the main cabin and I'm hoping to use a smaller 7000 BTU unit to focus on the sleeping area. The reason I'm looking at the 7000 BTU unit is that it can also be powered by an inverter system. That's the largest size I've found that can do that. I don't have a full 15 amp plug in at my dock for normal plug-in, so I have little choice.
Any informed comments would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Flott
