Okay, here is the plan: purchase refurbished 430s with transducer for $380.00. This will will provide back-up sounder and give us inland lakes detail (thank you Matt for the wake-up call). If availeability is not what internet suggests, we start over! Please hang in there with us.

Would not want to have them coming for me!

Matt, That has been in the back of my mind as well. I'm trying to do this on the cheap, but it does make good sense to have the option of a back up. Where we boat, a depth sounder is of more importance than a chartplotter. We like to set out crawdad traps with small floats to avoid theft...

Brent, We already have a Garmin fish finder on the boat. I want a dedicated chartplotter because I do not want to split the 4" screen.

If you have any interest cruising the Columbia East of the Cascades, you will more than likely get to see a fair amount of sunshine in November. We will be about 1 3/4 hours East of Portland on the Columbia and John Day Rivers. Contact us if you want to make a two boat flotilla on a weekend...

I think I have it narrowed down to two units. I want to stay with a marine unit so I have the option of upgrading and adding to the maps. 1. Garmin GPSMAP 430. 2. Garmin GPSMAP 431 (new/improved 430). Price difference of $140.00 gets you faster re-draw and better graphics. I'm not aware of...

Seabeagle, It is impressive what you have managed to squeeze on to your' boat, however, my budget will not allow me to even come close to what you have installed! My only complaint with multi-task units is that you risk losing multiple tools at one time. It happened to me at one time with my...

Matt, No, I do not have a problem at this time. My judgement (i think opinion would be a better word) is based on Surfbirds' initial post. I'm not looking for a problem, just sharing my thoughts on Surfbirds' situation. Personally, I think it is wise to see how current issues are being...

Dave, You did a better job of putting my feelings into words than I did. Thank You!

To All, Sorry, I do not know how to edit a post. James: I just want to add, business is business but, relations are something greater. Many a business has been sunk by the accounting and legal departments.

Matt: I agree 100%. James: I think you should re-read my post very carefully. I believe you have missed my point entirely. Maybe I did not make my point clearly. By covering their expenses, I mean't COVERING THEIR EXPENSES.

I'am aware of the 431 but, have not looked at the improvements because I have seen the improved price! Much to my chagrin, I have a budget.

Okay, I just vented on a different topic (warranty null & void) so now I can ask for opinions on a different subject. We have a 16C, so we do not want to spend an inordinate amount on electronics. We put a Garmin 300C fishfinder on it and like it. We do not have room for big displays, so I did...

Yes, this has been thoroughly covered here. However, I had hoped that moving forward Sea Sport would offer to address issues such as this to be repaired and billed equal to their expense. They break even, the owner gets a discount and a great deal of good will is created. A door slammed in your'...

Do you have any pictures? We have a 2009 16C and I do not believe we have any rivets in these locations.

Looks exactly like a Harvey Sea Dory I almost bought a long time ago except orange instead of yellow. Made in Portland as mentioned above. There are a few that beach launch out of Pacific City, OR. I have heard they are not as popular for this purpose as they are more prone to cracking when run...

I'm no expert on this but there are two things that I know of that changed in the last few years: 1. They went to a one piece cockpit liner. Looks nice, easier to clean. Makes some things easier to install and other things harder! It adds flotation (foam behind) but takes up room. 2. The...

We will see what we can do about some pictures up there next year then!

Jeff, I already replied to the seat question. Just wanted to point out the obvious. From all the replies to your' query so far and many more to come in short order, I'm sure it is obvious how appreciative we are to have dialogue with you. We bought a 2009 Fluid boat from Sportcraft Marina, so...

My vote is for comfort and durability, not really important to me if it is even a "c-dory" seat as long as the boat itself is! Great to hear from you.
