YW. Either way you go you will find it to be a great thing to have. On opening Snapper day the Fog where I was at had cut visability to a few hundred feet. I left the dock over an hour after some boats that I passed 3 to 4 miles down the intercostal. I watched them on the radar motoring at slow troll speeds weaving side to side trying to find their bearings in the fog. As soon as I passed they where motoring up lining up in my wake trying to follow me out. I went 30 miles in the fog that morning before it broke. The trip would have been a bust without the radar since I was running almost 50 miles out from the dock.
Good luck and tight lines.
