Updating Electronics

pwake7 · 06-10-2009, 12:29 PM

Im looking for some advice on what electronics to buy. I have a 23' grady white. I have a furuno chartplotter/fishfinder already installed.

Im looking to add radar for weather purposes and maybe get some sirius weather added.

Im not trying to break the bank but looking for good electronics to add. Any suggestions would be great.

Im looking into buying a boat now, and one of the things I am going to have to add to it is new electronics. In my research, I think I have decided upon Garmin. Check out www.boemarine.com, they are running a package deal on a couple different setups. Pretty cheap to add radar to them also. Good luck with your choice.......

Be sure to check out Raymarine. If you want to see the units actually in action, give me a call and I can arrange that.

Definetly give Garmin a good look. The stuff is easy to use and inexpensive. I just finished a 34 Bonadeo with a full Garmin package, very impressed with all the features and functions.
