After looking at inverters I think I want pure sign for better A/C power .I still haven't gone down to boat to see if microwave will work off the 1000 watt inverter that i installed 2 yrs ago .

I'd go for at least a 1500 watt inverter. I have a 1000 watt pure sine wave inverter (A Xantrex ProWatt SW) connected with #0 wire to a pair of 6V batteries. It will not run the 700 watt microwave I tried - I finally found a 600 watt
Westinghouse .6 cu ft that will run on the 1000 watt inverter. It draws 95 amps @ 12V at full power. You will have to extend cooking times since most of the times on packages are for 1200 watt microwaves, but you need to do the same with a 700 watt.
