I got a price quote for the GPS, fishfinder and VHF from Seaport Communications at last year's Providence show. Really good prices. The installation didn't take place until almot 3 months later but they still held to their show quote. I was impressed.

I had wanted the Garmin 320C fishfinder, but at the time there were none available anywhere unless I paid about $1,400!! That's why i went with the Furuno, thinking I'd get the 320C later. But then I saw the 600 in action at Boater's World and went ahead from there.

In the price area, I wanted to get a remote controlled spotlight to mount on the t-top. The one I wanted was $399 at West Marine. I found the same thing online for $199. I printed out the listing and took it to West. They sold me theirs for $199 plus $12 shipping.

I was impressed, once again. If I could have found online prices lower than Seaport's quotes, I probably would have done the same thing with West. But Seaport was the lowest I could find anywhere and they're across the street from West!!

Check out the FCV600 if you're uncomfortable with the 6100. You'll get hooked like I did.

I'm waiting for someone to come out with a unit that'll put stripers in the water where there aren't any, and tell you what lure to use to catch them. Garmin will probably do that next.
