Affordable is relative. Nikon Monarch5 12x42 is a phenomenal buy for $310. If you want something in the one tank of gas price range, the Nikon 7245 action extreme 10x50 is really nice for only $150. Both are waterproof. You want cheaper than that, I would go for something in the 8 x 40 range as most higher power binoculars in the low end will be tough to see through, especially on a rocking boat. The bushnell h20's are good binoculars for under $100 and they would probably be more than sufficient. They make an 8x42 and a 10x42. I think the 10 is too much power for that aperture, especially if there is any sort of chop or rolling. Makes me wanna puke thinking about it.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
