The Marketplace Forums can be useful for members who know one another well from forum discussions and offline communications and wish to post boatbuilding tools, drafting tools, molds and tooling, and other professional equipment for sale or trade. However, caution and good judgement should always be used. Especially when considering any business with anyone not already well known to you and trusted, due diligence must be used to confirm details and identity and be sure the transaction is safe before any money or property changes hands. Always use good judgement and perform due dilligence and follow these guidelines.

    Inquisitor BIG ENGINES: Silos today... Barn Door tomorrow!

    I am looking for a hand-held type GPS for use on small beach cats. Can anyone offer advice?

    I am looking at the bottom-end of the scale and getting feature overload looking at all the sites. I am mainly interested in the speed and heading information and want to do performance testing. I think I need some kind of limited data storage and able to download that information to a PC. From what I can tell, there is no moving map type stuff in the $99 class. If you think “some feature” is handy and adds a (say $30) increment, please add that suggestion.

    Thanks for all your help.

    How about Garmin eTrexLegend @ $130 versus Magellan eXplorist 200 @ $140? Any preferences/complaints on either one?

    I bought a I-Go II for $85.00 at cyber-marine.com It is waterproof, handheld and GWAS compatible.
