Our take on the VTE Paguro 6500 Marine Generator

The VTE Paguro 6500 is a diesel marine generator built around an 18 hp Lombardini 702 engine running at 1800 rpm, rated for 6,500 watts continuous. It starts electrically with a wired remote and sits in a stainless steel enclosure; VTE lists 49 dB at 23 feet. Surge and continuous ratings are the same 6,500 watts, so there is no headroom above the rated load for motor starts. The best new price is $12,385 at Absolute Generators as of November 4, 2026, and only one store lists it new, so there is no recent price range to compare against.

Pros
  • 1800 rpm operation is quieter and wears slower than 3600 rpm units
  • 49 dB at 23 feet is quiet for a diesel genset
  • Lombardini 702 engine has broad parts and service support
  • Stainless steel enclosure resists saltwater corrosion
  • Wired remote start from the helm or cabin
Cons
  • No surge headroom: surge equals the 6,500 W continuous rating
  • Only one store lists it new, so price competition is thin
  • Commercial warranty is just 1 year or 1,000 hours
  • Output drops at altitude, and VTE does not publish a derate table
  • Diesel gensets need fuel polishing and regular service

Questions and answers

Is the Paguro 6500 worth it over a 3600 rpm generator?
At 1800 rpm it runs quieter and should last longer between rebuilds, which matters on a boat where the genset runs often. The trade-off is weight and a higher price than small 3600 rpm units.
Can it start an air conditioner or other motor load?
Surge and continuous ratings are both 6,500 watts, so there is no reserve for inrush current. Size loads so motor starts stay within the continuous rating, or add a soft starter.
What is included in the box?
Expect the generator in its stainless enclosure, the wired remote and start panel, and a manual. Confirm the exhaust, siphon break and mounting hardware with the seller before ordering.
Does altitude affect output?
Yes. VTE says output is altitude-affected and directs buyers to call for details, so ask for the derate figure for your cruising elevation before sizing loads.
When is the price lowest?
Only one store lists it new at $12,385 as of November 4, 2026, so there is no track record of seasonal discounts. Watch that listing for changes rather than waiting for a sale.
Where is the VTE Paguro 6500 Marine Generator cheapest?
At Absolute Generators, for $12,385.00, as of our latest check.
