![]() "M. Baker" wrote in message ups.com... Husband bought the 17' Lund Mr. Pike boat last week. Need a marine radio. Have no clue what to get. Plans to go out into Lake Michigan at times, as well as smaller inland lakes. Help - any recommendations appreciated!! A basic fixed mount marine radio will work just fine for your purposes. Weather alert is a nice feature to get on the radio as it gives you an audible warning of weather alerts in your area. No need for the GPS interface. I purchased a brand new Horizon Eclipse Plus GX 1250S AA (compact with weather alert) marine VHF radio for $84 (including shipping) June, 2006 and it works fine. We boat on Lake Erie. I bought it on Ebay. Here is one for $100: http://www.rivermarinesupply.com/xca...ipse_Plus.html Shakespeare 5102 VHF antenna - $53 from boatfix.com Shakespeare 4187 chrome ratchet mount - $30 delivered on ebay. If you install it yourself (easy) - you can get the boat totally set up for under $200. Hope this helps. ;-) |
