I have a 37' Marinette that I will be using offshore in the Gulf of
Mexico. I would love to get a GPS/Radar for no more than about $3000.
Is that dreaming? Am I out of my mind? Thnx. Mark

Let's figure out what kind of BOAT you have, first......

We'd recommend a different radar for the 70' Hatteras FBMY than we
would the 28' sloop with the 1 cylinder diesel.....

At some point, you need to tell us about the M-O-N-E-Y you have for
this dream system, so I don't go off crazy recommending color
radar/chartplotters with 24KW arrays when you were dreaming about
$800, tops....

OK? Tell us more! Meet me at Sailnet with your check book. We'll
get SOMETHING.....(c;

(The last guy that met me at Sailnet is very happy. I was, too,
spending his money!)

I am a new boater and I need help. I've been looking for a "Consumer
Reports" type site that deals with marine equipment and tells which
models are the top of the line, best value, most durable, etc. I
haven't found one yet. I am looking to buy a radar/gps system for my
boat and I would like to know which brand and model I should lean
towards. Thnx. Mark.
