DITTO, I have the 545s. ("s" means the ocean maps installed) |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Furuno Fcv 295 is on it's way here
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
I was a big simrad fan, but since the new company isn't supporting their older units, they can pound sand.

Jay great choice. The majority of the commercial fleet uses Furuno for this application for a reason. You going to RISAA?

Not sure about RISAA - I tore my Achilles playing Indoor Lacrosse a couple weeks ago and I'm stuck in the house. I might sit in the booth for a little while, but unfortunately not up for a good post show beer drinking session.

Sorry to hear about the Achilles. That is a bitch of an injury. Well when you get better we'll have to make up for the lost "opportunity" to drink beers.
