Do houseboats need a marine refrigerator, won't a regular fridge work on house boats?

What's best, a regular fridge, or a marine refrigerator?

I'm new to house boats, but wondering why a marine refrigerator is so expensive on houseboats? Won't a regular fridge work in its place?

To save some money, couldn't we just use a regular home fridge, and just connect it to an 12volt inverter, and plug it in at the dock?

The other thing is, those boat marine refrigerators are so small, that my wife would like me to put in a regular full size one with a big freezer.

There must be a reason why, I just don't see it. Maybe someone can explain it.

Any information would really help, Thanks Louis S.
