About 5 yrs ago, I updated my whole instrument package on my previous boat with simrad. After installing, could not get the radar to work. Called tech support numerous times, had a pro installer scratch his head. Finally sent it all back and went with Furuno. Installed like a dream and it all worked as stated. The quality is superior, the wires are bullet proof, very happy with the entire system.

In 2015 sold the boat and got the Sabre and it has a 2013 Raymarine mfd but garbage instruments from Datamarine. Am happy with the Raymarine and have since bought the I-70 Raymarine instrument package. Will install sometime this yr.

I find that radar chart overlay is the most useful function over plain jane radar, hands down most useful function in any kind of fog. To me your system is only as good as it can be in the worst weather because in good weather you can use dead reckoning.
