I tried to find any specification throgh the local dealer, and he did
not even get an answer at Sea Ray in the States (neither yes nor no,
essentially along the lines of we do not supply it so we do not know):

I would like to have a 4'/22kg Radar antenna on a Sea Ray 315 Sundancer
Sport Spoiler, Molded Fiberglass (Seamless) w/Overhead Lighting.

Is this workable, as I do not seem to get an answer from SeaRay?
Or is there a lower weight limit so I would have to forego the
advantages of a big enough antenna?

TIA

Marc, let's take a look at reality on radar......

Radar cannot see further than the horizon.

The horizon depends on how far UP the antenna is mounted.

From your SR31, we're up just above the flybridge. How far can YOU see
with binoculars...6 miles? 5? Check it out.

If we had a 500KW military surface search radar on your arch, it could
"see" targets 6 miles away....maybe 8 or 9 if they are TALL targets like
lighthouses, radio towers, etc. So, what's the point?

snip....


Though you might not see targets farther, with a larger antenna you would
have a better resolution, and that would be a good thing, don't you think?


snip....

It just isn't fair.

Poor baby. Some of us speak and read more than one language. You should
have paid attention in school. Last time we were in Mexico, we spoke
"schoolbook" Spanish for the first few days, and then managed to pick up
on Mexican Spanish enough to feel at ease.

But you understand English.........right?

My grandparents (both sides) learned English when they came over. They also
came over legally, as did millions of other immigrants.

Folks with your type of thinking have ruined America and the future quality
of life for my children, grandchildren.........etc.........

I feel sorry for them based on the world they will be living in.

Thanks Harry.

I've been visiting Florida for decades, starting in the 1960s. The first
time we went to Miami, I practiced my high school Spanish down there.
People speaking Spanish is nothing new. There are just more folks doing
that now. When we lived in Florida, and it was North Florida, we spoke
English and Spanish, and English mixed with Spanish.

Americans are intellectually lazy. An awful lot of those born here with
"anglo" parents can barely speak or write plain high-school level
English. No wonder they can't pick up a little Spanish, eh?

Your boy Bush has done nothing to close the leakage at the borders for
the past seven years. He's your boy...why isn't he doing what you want?

Why not? Americans should learn English and one other language in public
school. We'd be in much better shape as a nation if more "anglo"
Americans spoke Spanish, Arabic, Korean, Chinese, whatever. But of
course millions of "anglo" Americans can barely speak English.

Nice going Harry.
