Boaters wishing to have an emergency rescue
beacon aboard their vessel must have a digital 406 MHz model.



AND.......Make SURE the 406 EPIRB you buy has its OWN GPS receiver INSIDE
it:

AHHH....THAT'S THE ONE! $863 at this discounter....down from the usual
"boater pricing" of $2,038.00 at a boat store...saving $1174!

Boater's World - $999.99 (that's almost $1000!)
Boater's Basement - $856....even cheaper!

$849!.....it's gettin' CHEAPER!

Well, that'll give you the idea of the PROPER price, around $850 it looks
like. Doesn't matter WHO you buy it from because NONE of them service
it. Just send it to ACR for warranty and repairs.

This integral GPS model is in our ditch bag. Hope it just keeps getting
those new batteries and never gets used.....

Reporting with proper INTERNAL GPS data via 406 puts you in a 3 ft circle
with a 121.5 localizer and flashing strobe.......PRICELESS!

Even the Morning Dew Coasties should be able to find you!
