Thanks to everyone for all the replies. If I had known my question would
start a small battle I might have thought twice!

Dare I ask about Garmin g?

Garmin's ok. I don't like their UNBALANCED NMEA cables which make it easy
for the SSB to tear up the network, but the Garmin 185
GPS/chartplotter/sonar on Lionheart came from the old Endeavour 35 and
still makes a great backup.

I have a Garmin 725 VHF walkie talkie. The first one leaked but Garmin
simply replaced it. I'm still using it. I like it because it's LOUD!

As to the flamewar....This just proves you did a great job bringing up a
good subject for the group. Ya done good! Any question that doesn't
result in a flamewar (or someone punching someone else off the dock at
your
marina) isn't worth answering, anyways....(c; Your score is determined by
how many irate replies it generates and for how many months it can sustain
itself without you pumping it up to keep it going....hee hee. None of
them
are afraid to flail away when they're a thousand miles off and out of
punching range. This is nothing. Go read rec.boats for a week. How
awful!


LOL! There sure is an interesting group of people here. Hopefully I will
have a report and photos soon - we head for the coast tomorrow to sea-trial
the Pursuit and Grady White and make our decision (and write many checks I
am sure).
