Updates from #51
Thanks to Rick, Doug, and Mr. Helmsman regarding electronics.
Our hull is now in the mold and were getting pics!
We have not made much progress on electronics since we are in backcountry in Nevada/Utah without real internet and now heading to Mexico, but I'm tempted to fly back to the boat show in feb to make final decisions. Not sure what else I would learn other than touch and feel.
Mr. Helmsman -
Vesper Cortex - The concern with Vesper Cortex after reading several resources is the ability to hear other vessels, squelch, ability to scan etc. I get you can download Vesper updates over time, and I like everything that is has to offer, but should we consider a true and proven VHF as backup?
Would it be overkill to add a standard VHF to the package?
Screen size - I dont think I ever saw what size screens will fit, but I dont want to go small. Seems like a big $$ to only get one 1" bigger screen and I though we can get a Garmin 17" and still fit everything. Does anyone know the size limitations at both stations? (assuming standard other stuff (merc engine display etc). Or is this a "it depends on what else" question. I am going with Scott's guy for electronics, maybe I should ask him to lay out the view on paper.
Comments on both are appreciated.
- thanks, Tom
