    which Garmin?

    Steve, I am loving the 188c. Of course I started with the 235. Huge difference! I did not want to drop the big bucks for the cutting edge models, which I don't need anyhow. The 188c does more than I will probably ever use. good luck. James :beer

    which Garmin?

    you might check into getting a refurbished garmin, I did. They come with the same manufacturer warranty. I saved over 1/2 price. I got the 188c for 350, new they were 750 to 1100. http://www.edgegps.com/ my unit was indistinguishable from a new unit. They come with all the same items in the...

    Anchor tests

    I have 15ft of 5/8 chain on my fX7, I have to say in 2 years I cannot remember a single occasion when it did not hold the first time. I could not demand more from a anchor. the fortress is VERY light, I would not expect it to hold much without some chain. James

    To moore, or not to moore, that is the question

    " No bottom paint, no algae, no barnacles, no monthly fee. Frankly, I'd rather spend that slip fee on boat gas! " Don't forget Rats, we had a 26 carver that was virtually ruined by them. Bird crap, always a problem. Spiders, ubiquitous where I had my boat. Danger of other boats running into...
