I am not kidding, bloo, you should not pass on GS' offer. It is the perfect unit for your size boat, you can run full screen chart, full screen FF, or split the two. Chart clarity and refresh is as good as any other. The FF may not be quite as good as the others you are considering, but it is still plenty good and you will be able to identify bait, fish, etc.. you may not be able to pick up the spars of a sunken schooner, but you will know if something is down there to bite your bait...
Thanks GS - give me a day or two to research and compare (if possible) - I'll let you know either way by the end of the weekend.
Tony (Goose), let me borrow his Garmin 176. Is it similar to that model?
.....already stole all his wps
...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
The boat I bought last year came with the 182C,,, 8 yr. old chip?
I'm steaming back into Barnstable harbor the other night lined up with the flasher at the point and watching the GPS for cans....
Holy crap! What was that that just went by!
The chip is so old it doesn't show a couple of new cans,, missed one by feet! Needless to say I pulled out the spot light that I should have already had out and on...
