Also i remember reading it improved the oil fill hole for easier oil changes, but i need to reread that to be certain

I picked my up at Camping World on line for 1,060 with tax and shipped

I had a off brand last summer and i was being cheap so i bought it only taking it back after 2 week because it stopped charging, i knew better but i learned the hard way, Honda has a good track record

Also keep in mind that with the inverter generators, you can daisy chain two together with a patch cord and have double the watts.

Could not find the spec for a Dual Pro, but Minn-Kota publishes this chart. a 3x10amp unit pulls 7.2 amps, or just under 900 watts. I'd go with the 2000 watt unit, just to have more versatility.

You should have no problem with a 2000 watt. I have the yamaha inverter and I charge the camper and boat batteries all at once (5 batt) in total, plus still using the camper lights and such.
Stay away from them cheap generators, get the yamaha or honda you wont regret it.

I used to have the Yamaha 1000 watt model, worked fine for my dual bank:
