If you have a smart phone with any android operating system (and I'm sure IPHONE too), you can download navionics charts for $14 bucks and use your phone.

Thanks for your input I'll look into a Garmin.

On second thought I think I'll just take Skools Out with me, he will point me in the right direction.

Watch out though, he always points south for some reason

It's the BEST place to be

Garmin 76 series, had one a while ago and it lasted forever and easy to use. Borrowed a buddies lowrance H2O and was not impressed, not nearly as easy to use.

With GOOD reason...

I just bought a used GPAMAP76 from EBAY for 37.00 +/-, a good purchase? Purchased from a place in FL so hopefully the base maps in it will cover NC.

Yes, a very good deal for what you got. Good find.

It's a shame I don't have a Garmin, I could pay you to take it. I bought stock in garmin years ago, so about 8 years ago I decided to buy one. It was such as hard piece of crap to operate I gave it away and sold all my stock. Looks like I made the right decision on both items.

I'll never own another. If I ever buy another boat and it has a garmin product someone can have it.

Wow!!...run out and find a V w/one of these...call me when I can come get it...even better, try to make it before July 15!!!...LOL!!...
