Damn right keep the radar...it's great and I'd like to have it...it'll show you the approaching tanker...but take it easy anyway, cuz there are things afloat out there the radar will never see...containers fall off ships all the time and float w/only inches showing above the water...we saw a barge full of scrap-metal adrift off Charleston the radar didn't pick up...the best electronics on the planet can't compensate for SIGHT...

Beside the galf the furno raidar is the best tool on the boat. Some friends not included. Nothing worse that having a boat full of gas and bait and no way to see through the fog And yes play extra safe in it. Better to see what your about to get your A$$ into. One of the big reasons I bought my V-21 it had all the electronic gear I needed to feel safe.

Speaking of radar, what power radar do you need to see birds? I remember there was a discussion about this a while back, but don't remember the power needed.

Ok, found the thread. The answer is: You need 4 KW or better to spot buoys and birds. A 2kw unit normally will not show them.
