You posted in the wrong sub-forum. Your thread was in "feedback", now it is in "Diving Gear > Compressors, Boosters & Blending Systems."

That sounds like a small boat to run a compressor on. It takes time to fill those 80s, and small compressors are loud...
The main consideration is that very few compressors have lubrication systems that can deal with the inclination of rocking boats. Most compressors must be kept horizontal and only tolerate few degrees inclination (5° for small ones, 15° for big ones) .
Exceptions are the BAUER Oceanus (20° inclination with petrol engine, 30° electric) and (especially) the RIX SA6 (80° inclination). The RIX was made for the military to be used in combination with small inflatables.
