I have seen a few posts on bad experiences and warnings so I wanted to share a good one.
I recently bought a Garmin 4208 plotter from BOE Marine http://www.boemarine.com/ and was looking forward to using it in the Gulf Islands these last 2 weeks.
Four days before our trip I realized that the card reader on the unit was defective and I would not be able to use the charts for the area. Called Garmin and they told me it would be 10 days to fix it. Anyone who has been to the Gulf Island knows there are lots of little rocks and areas where you really need a plotter.
Desperate I called Jim at BOE and explained the situation. Without hesitation he arranged for a loaner unit for me and I had it on my doorstep before we left for the trip. Pretty unbelievable service considering I have never met him. I also found their prices fair and very responsive to questions before you purchase.
