I am about to buy a raymarine C70 (or 80), auto pilot, and radar combo. The Tacoma Boat Show price is better than any I've seen on the electroncs websites mentioned here at the pub. Any coments before I make the plunge? I have untill Sunday 5pm or "the deal is off!"

I thought Raytheon was offering some sort of Value Pack combination offer. If this doesn't include that offer, you might want to inquire further.

Chris,

I'd recommend some serious homework - there have been some important upgrades to Raytheon's line - and new packaging. Same brand of apples, huh?

Just wanted to let you now that if you ask for a package discount quote from Boaters World they will come in very close to the prices you recieved at the boat show, just in case you did not buy them on Sunday.

Thanks, I ordered em'. The pakages save a few hundred, but included the depth sounder ($600+). I'm going to pick up a stand alone (maybe a garmin 240 blue) depth sounder. Good enough for me - I mainly just crab & shrimp, and cruise around the islands.
