Default need marine radio


"M. Baker" wrote in message

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:

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. ;-)
