Just when I thought my boating days were over I found another that I really couldn’t pass up. I located a 1972 Laguna that was built specifically for the owner of Grand Banks. I will be moving it to North Florida in a few weeks. As I go through the box of paperwork that was left aboard I will share it here.

I am installing a Furuno 1st Watch Radar this weekend on my new to me Laguna. Anyone have any recommendations about the unit?

I am installing a Furuno 1st Watch Radar this weekend on my new to me Laguna. Anyone have any recommendations about the unit?

I installed one of those units and was very disappointed with its performance. Vessels had to be closer than 3/4 of a mile to show up. I sent the unit back to Furuno thinking there was something wrong with it and they returned it saying there’s nothing wrong with it. I very much regret selecting it. The wireless concept is good, but the ability to pick out targets is really bad. Ymmv
