What the heck, I'm not real smart, however not ignorant, and after a few scotches I might be in a bit of a fog. So, just for grins I decided to see what it would cost to change my old out of date Raymarine system out to an updated CHIRP system. I've got a 12" MFD so I can't see going to a 5" screen, that would show ignorance trying to fit the little one in a big hole. A 12" Raymarine E125 with charts is a smooth $3,500 at our favorite marine store WM, the "ClearPulse" CHIRP sonar module is right at $2,000 and to get a single band transducer that will fit in the same hole as my B164 is $1,100....dual band is double. Seeing how I'm spending money I don't have, why not a color digital radar $2,500 and of course what every 23' SeaCraft should have, a $7,700 thermal night vision camera to make my new 12" MFD useful. I'll have to pass the offering plate a few more times to get all this.
