for the money I would check out Consumer marine electronics, they do occasionally sell closeouts from Furuno,and the deals are there sometimes. Also Check out electronic installers in your area, I have picked up great stuff a a fraction of the retail price, it may be a year or teo old but generally great stuff ex. i got a 64nm radar with a 10 inch daylight display, a furuno for about 2k, also picked up a 1850 d gps plotter, discontinued , but half the cost of a new one, that was at consumers.
