If anyone has suggestions on this I would be great full, I like to fish so a good sonar is a must. Like is said need A smart AP, decent plotter, radar and a good fish finder. like furno as well but it douple what everyone else is.

If you had a family of 4 and we're looking for a trawler for a live aboard/fishing and have 40k-65k would would you be looking for? Wood or fiberglass? Best bang for your boat buck? Models or brands to seek?

Reply Yes it's the same one you are thinking of, looks like he has done some work to it to fix it up but would love to speak with you about it if you are willing.

Reply So what is the verdict? I know electronics are not cheap but was hoping to come away with some different options that meet the requirements I stated above. Seems that even 20k for 2 screens in each location might not be enough money anyone have some suggestions?

Reply Need electronics on inside helm and on the flybridge. Those multi function displays with the IPad or remote controlable screens seem to be a intriguing option especially considering $350 vs $2500 for just a additional screen.

Reply Not bagging on Bayliners or there're owners just looked at a lot of them and they are not for us... We prefer wood interiors and the not so RV feel, just personal preference that's all.
