One other point is that the voltage drop and heat issue which leads to the requirement for a short cable run from the batteries to the inverter does not apply to the 120v side. Ac current does not drop much over the distances in a boat. So locate the inverter as close to the batteries as possible (but not in the bilge of a gas powered boat), and run longer 120v wires to the panel.
