[C38] Advice - Nexus Instruments

[David Epstein]

Larry,

I am glad to hear that you are going to restore Hassle.   The photos 
of the damage are horrifying, and I hope you will eventually learn 
what caused it, and let the list know.   I am sure we will all want 
to take some precautionary measures.

Regarding your question, we have had Nexus instruments on SuperStar 
for almost 10 years and I am completely sold on them as the best 
price/performance option by far.

If you are interested, I have at least an entire Nexus system 
available for sale.   Some years ago I purchased the inventory of a 
company that had a bunch of Nexus parts, some are new, some are 
"demo" (used on a display, not on a boat) and some are used.   It 
would save you a bunch of money compared to purchasing a Start Pack, 
and then adding even the fewest number of additional items you will 
likely need.

What I have is the "classic", not the newer NX2 series, however if 
the NX2 features are important to you, you can purchase a new NX2 
server and it will work with the "classic" instruments, remote and 
transducers (other than one or two, which can be purchased 
separately).  I have considered getting a NX2 server, but I haven't 
gotten around to it as of yet (the differences are not big).

Let me know if you are interested, or if you need more info on the 
Nexus line.  I have a LOT of experience as I designed, installed and 
commissioned the system on SuperStar myself.   I even added an Airmar 
ultrasonic speed transducer that has no protruding or moving parts 
(very cool, but expensive).  You can reach me by email or at 310.308.3083.

Regards,


David Epstein
SuperStar #122, Marina del Rey
