I tend to buy into all the latest and greatest,but I decided to finally stop the madness when it comes to electronics.
My electronics are dated,but they still do what I need.
I have an older 600 watt NorthStar sonar/gps combo that gets me to any waypoint I need,a sonar that reads the bottom,and marks bait and fish at 500' deep,at 30 Mph.
Have an older Raymarine pathfinder Radar that for some reason still works great at picking out Freighters,boats,and other dangers in the fog,and storms that are headed my way.
Would I like to have all the newest latest electronics?,ABSOLUTELY!
Would they increase my fish catches?,POSSIBLY but not likely.
Would they get me to my waypoints easier or faster? NOPE!
Trying to keep up with all the new electronics is for me at least,out of my reach.You can go out and buy all the newest technology laden electronics,and spend thousands and thousands of dollars,only to have them become obsolete two years later.It's a game you can't win.
I'll just have to keep running my stuff till thay crap out,or get so old that are no longer trustworthy.
I will admit though that i love looking at all the new stuff. Hmm,maybe "when my ship comes in".
Sorry for getting off topic.
