I have to wonder how serious a problem this really is.
For instance, if I can run between two buoys spaced 300' with a scanner
that's over 100' in the air and watch them pass down my side, how much
difference can there be with a small boat and a scanner placed 30' up,
unless you are totally crowding the buoy to one side (not good).
Also, by that point, if you lose sight of the buoy, you should have all
ready changed your concentration to some new point or reference, ahead.

OTN, the Horozontal Beamwidth of your Commercial Maritime Radar is
significantly smaller than that of the units found on most Pleasure
type vessels. That makes a HUGH difference in the Target Discrimination
Ability between the two radars. Apples and Oranges, here.......
