Hi all, I am looking into purchasing my first boat in the coming months, but need some advice. Until not I have been using a friends 98 closed bow ski antique with perfect pass gps installed, and it has been awesome. After being on the market for awhile and looking around, I have found a couple options that caught my eye. Currently I'm based in San Diego so a significant amount of the use will be in salt water, but that has not seemed to impact my friends boat as long as we take the time afterwards to wash it appropriately. I am going to paste the information
