[electricboats] When the ideal house voltage please stand up?

Hi all, 

I monitor this group a lot but rarely contribute. That's going to change. While powering over a current over a bar here in Oregon, my v drive ended with a loud bang followed by a grinding noise and no power to the prop. Well I will use this opportunity to go electric. In talking to the thunderstruck guys, they suggest 18 or even 24 kw (40 ft Valiant) . I thought why not just use their reduction drive and go with 120 for the house and the  aux?

Advantages...

More power to aux

Standardized wiring (cheaper)

Home appliances (cheap)

Solar to 120, gen to 120 easy to do. 

Dis

Marine stuff is mostly 12 volt. So will need step down for instruments, radar etc

What do you think...anybody done this? Why not?
