Re: Air conditioning in a 1999 238?
Actually, mikeyT's somewhat right. The smaller ones didn't come with A/C however it was an option on the larger cuddy models, I believe 25ft and above, but I don't believe many people opted to pay the extra $$ for it. It was a much more common option on the MCC cruiser line.
One of our members here actually did the work and converted a household A/C unit for his Z250 and he did a writeup here!

Of course you could always buy one of the pre-made kits as well, although they're a little pricy, I think they'll set you back about $1500-$1800 when it's all said and done. The other option is a carry-on system. My friend picked up a Cruisair carry-on A/C off craigslist that he uses on his sailboat, and when he's not using it, I sometimes do. He paid about 1/4 of what they cost new, so you might try and look into that route!
