cptmike,

in pea soup fog, nothing makes you feel safer than the radar.

The boats I go out on with radar have the Raytheon C70 the other has Furano Navnet. I don't consider either better.

The only thing I use them for is looking for a blip in a 1 1/2 mi range, and when one pops up figuring out it's direction and do the needful to avoid it.

IMHO go for the one with the best price and if the unit is compatible with electronics you've already got, even better.
