I don't have one on the boat. I probably won't. The closest thing I
have to a TV is a depthfinder. But I do have an AMFM CD player .

When we're out on the boat, That's it. ..just us and the boat.

If I wanted to watch TV, I'd stay home with the big screen,.


That wasn't the question. You are giving advice that you have not
been asked for. Worth about what we paid for it.

Pretty much what I was going to say. For entertainment when berthed, we
bring along a few good (or not so good) books.

As to the computer, I have an old Toshiba libretto on which the battery died
long ago hooked up to the GPS for navigation. It uses one of the "brick"
connections, run to a cigarette lighter connection, and runs all day without
running the battery down enough to notice. Normal engine usage getting in
and out of the harbor is enough recharge.
