Todd, in your price range I think you could get a much better deal if you were looking at Raytheon components in lieu of the Furuno. You can go with a combination GPS/plotter/finder and save some $ over using separate components as well as freeing up valuable helm space. As far as the radar goes, you'll save a lot of $ going with an enclosed radome instead of an open array antenna even though the open antenna looks better. Furuno components are excellent but at your size range Raytheon is an excellent quality choice and usually a better value as well as offering increased ease of operation (usually) over Furuno. I've had both for years. You can't go wrong with either set up. Let me know how you make out.
