Re: chart plotters?
If you swing the extra $200....I would go for the Garmin 188C. It has a LCD color TFT screen, so glare isn't as much of a problem. It aslo has chart plotting capabilities with Garmin's custom Blue charts chip and it also has a dual frequency sounder (50khz and 200khz).
I recently bought one but have not installed it yet. I bought it from Voyager Marine Electronics in Essex, MA for $1154 with the transom mount transducer included. The Blue Chart plotting chip was an extra $130-150.
