Hunterdorrah, I have a boat coming in within two weeks or so. Electronics include a Northstar 952 Chartplotter, Furuno Sounder (6.5"), and Furuno Radar (1715). I struggled with whether to get a Net with a single display, or whether to get a combo chartplotter and sounder. After checking out displays, etc, and speaking with some buddies in the know, I decidced not to get a combo outfit because I would have to toggle back and forth. I like the idea of viewing both a the GPS and the sounder. You can split the screen, but that divides a 10" (which is thousands more expensive) int a 5" screen. Then comes the deal if the combo unit goes out, you are SOL. Combos are a must only if you have a space problem. I also fought the tempatation to do it myself, or to have some buddies come out and do it. I decided to go a professional electronics installer as they gaurrantee the work, will service and handle any equipment problems (as opposed to my dealing with the mgf) and will come out to the boat to fix things. Finally, I highly recommend getting a Sirius satellite radio. 120 stations of commercial free music and many different genres of music. (I like the Standard Time Jazz). If it is not to late, the cost of the electronics, etc, can be rolled into the pricing and any financing for the boat. Hope this helps.
