[C38] radar

[William Knowles]

I have a raymarine but think they are all good. I think the chart plotter overlay is the most important thing. It lets you know if your seeing another boat or a fixed object, our is mounted at the steering station since someone is always there when we are o the move works great. I repeater would be great if you solo sail as long as it had an alarm to warn of approaching objects.
