Shore power

[NewtoChesapeake]

Hi all. I am in the process of buying a used boat and have some questions about shore power. One of the boats in my price range that I like does not have a shore power hookup to the boat. All I really need is when docked at the marina is 120v to run a portable ac. Can I simply buy one of adapter I've seen that convert the shore power plug to 120v and plug that single appliance into it or am I better off getting a boat that has the actual hook ups that may be in worse condition an less desirable. Thanks for any help. Todd

Check with the marina. I've read that some don't allow using an adapter to hook directly to an electrical device.
