Getting radar c70 ?

Thanks for the replies. Shawn they said it would be good out to 24nm but I figured 10-12 nm would be at the good end. That is all I realy need so anything past that would be an extra.

I highly doubt you will get 10-12nm you are only in a 21' the radar needs to be up pretty high

Every little bit helps, mine was on top of my Hydra Sports which was a pretty high T top (Link Sr) could walk under without d#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g, and I don't think I could pick anything up in that range, I can also count on 1 hand the amount of times I changed the setting out of the 1/8 mile range. The C series units are nice just don't buy on range as you would be dissapointed if you bought the 24 mile unit and it is only good for 9 on your boat.

In my best Mr Miaggi voice Ahh Danielson must remember earth is round radar waves go straight :-)

true but land will show as will other larger/taller boats.
good for searching whear the cod fleet is hiding out.

Vector makes a great point...
I rarely run more than 1/2 mile range inshore, and our rader is 20+ft up and can p/u a ways out. Great for picking up squall lines though
