Re: Garmin 182C or 188C
Spykept, do some searching here on iboats. I just typed in "Garmin 188C" and got these..... <br /><br />
Garmin 188C iboats <br /><br />Try "Furuno" and "fishfinders" as well, I got a stack of reading mat'l at home from this site. <br /><br />Furuno is one of the best fishfinders, I'd say the best if not for the new Raymarine HDFI fishfinders. This is the second year I've been talked out of buying a Furuno at the boatshow. I brought my sunglasses this year and you could see the Raymarine's clearer, whether this is a good test is still to be determined. <br /><br />The same guys told me the Garmin 188C's fishfinder's a "toy" compared to the Raymarine. I have to assume it's got the same features as the 320C, which is a popular unit.<br /><br />I'll be buying probably the Raymarine as soon as I get my tax refund, unless someone can convince me of a combo unit that serves both functions well. And doesn't have any known problems.<br /><br />Heck even the Raymarine has some fogging issues....
<br /><br />PS Fueled up at Chicks Marine last year on the way down from Georgetown Island, where I picked up the Grady. Also have a friend in K'Port. Spent some time at the Pilot house last summer. Did the Lobster fest too. Your boat in the harbor there?<br /><br />Good Luck with the new toys!
