After ridin' all over creation with me down in POC this weekend dodgin' the other weekend warriors. Momma decided that I really do need a gps for the boat and that it would be a good father's day gift!! So now I need some advice from y'all fast before she forgets, or changes her mind!
What would y'all recommend ;brands, hand held vs. mounted. I really don't want to break the bank but won't exactly lowball it either. Only to be used in the bays won't be offshore (don't know if that matters or not).

Anyway thanks in advance.

I was just informed that the garmin 176c has been discontinued and replaced with the 276c. They still have the 176 mono in stock, the problem is are all the bells and whistles extra worth the nearly 200 bucks or will the mono fill the bill just as well??
Thanks again,
Rick

Never mind I went with the 176, should be here Friday. At least I'll be able to find the ditches in front of the house, it looks like a lake AGAIN!!
