Condensate disposal: On a small Island near David, Panama, we saw a dehumidifier out in the open air, running near the bar, It was their source of distilled water for the rare time that a drink called for water, or a customer didn't want an alcoholic beverage. If you clean the coils well, the water should be fine to drink--air water maker!
In a 22 you have considerably less room for all of these appliances than in the larger boats. A lot depends on how much of the time you will be using it--but a unit which can be removed makes a lot of sense for the Carolinas.

You don't need to drain the condensate in the two vented De Lhongi, 9,000 BtU portable A/C. The exhaust air tube picks up the condensate and blows it outside.
It does take a Honda 2,000 to operate it on a hot day, though.

Are some of you missing the point made above about using a portable unit with an exhaust flex tube because it doesn't need a drain line because it evaporates the condensation water into the stream of outgoing hot air?
ON EDIT: I missed reading page two of this discussion when I wrote the above question. Can't simply delete it for some reason (no "X" choice).

Mounting the AC in the front window has the advantage of not blowing
hot air over cockpit. Also, the noise is up front. The obvious disadvantage
is that you can not run with the unit in place.
Unless you really want to run with the unit in place, I suggest you try using
it in the front window first. We stow it on the V, behind the helm. I have
a fiberglass helm backside, so I strap it to the cover. Even in really rough
water, it has never moved.
Consider getting the unit with temp. control. Most excellent to set the
thermostat to 74 and have it stay that way. No getting up in the middle
of the night because you are freezing to adjust.
