T&T: Furuno or Raymarine

[Rock Bradford]

Furuno, hands down.  I've had furuno only on my boats for 30 years, with a
remarkable record of trouble-free service.  First rate, commercial quality.
Actually, in 1979, I bought a Magnavox sat nav for $17K and I always had B &
G on our sailboats, but aside from that, all Furuno.
