mj, check "The Hull Truth" in the electronics forum. usually some nice ones show up when the the sportfisher crowd wants the lastest & greatest.

Maybe you should buy a nice big used northstar :)

MJ if all you want is a big GPS display. Check out the older Garmin 2010, 2010c, 3010c they are pretty nice for the money. I've seen new units (old stock) for about $700. No need to get a multi function display if you are only going to use the chartplotter.

highly recommend 2010c
great for old eyes

Thanks Guys!
I went to the RI show yesterday what a shame it is so small with nothing there!!!!

I did play with a Garmin 4208 (I think the 10 is a bit big for my boat) and it was pretty nice, the difference from the 4208 and 5208 is the touch screen. I am leaning to the buttons as i had to play a little with the touch screen.

The Boston show is coming soon and I hope the electronic world will be better represented there??

Still open to suggestions!!

Thanks for going with me BS had a good time!

Joe,
I bought a 5212 Garmin from Get Feet Wet for $2399 for the Bertram.
They have had the 4212 for around $1899 in the pass.

Just trying to give you ideas

They still have the 5212... not sure if the link will work...
