After much aggravation and some research (the BassPro shop in Norfolk
was a big help- they have almost everything on display), I've narrowed
down the electronics search for my new boat.

GPS Plotter
Lowrance Globalmap 7200 with a Nauticpath chip. I like the screen and
ergonomics of the new Lowrance unit better than the similarly priced
Garmin units. I am still thinking about the Northstar Explorer 660, but
after reading its manual, I think it has too many damned features that I
will not use. Nice unit, though.

Feeshfinder/Depthfinder
Garmin Fishfinder 340C with an AirMar hole in the bottom of the boat
transducer. The new boat has a flat pad at the crotch of the vee at the
transom, designed for a shoots-straight-down dual frequency dual beam
transducer and temp gauge.

VHF
ICOM handheld M72. The only party I would call in an emergency, the
Coast Guard, has huge towers on the Bay, so "reach" is not an issue.
Just about everyone else uses cellphones, even for "ship to ship."

Fuel Flow Meter - still working on this one.

Shortwaisted Tom?

Oh well, I guess that's better than being short, wasted Tom. :-)

I have no reason to insult Tom. Shortwaisted Tom is a mildly humorous
play on SW Tom. Short, wasted Tom is insulting.- Hide quoted text -

Which is exactly why I observed that Shortwaisted Tom is better than
being short, wasted Tom. Had you referred to him as short, wasted Tom
that would have been insulting. File under "humor", Harry.
