Thoughts on MFDs and Radar?

Chart plotter was old as well, basically a picture of charts ("navnet"), some of which had little detail, and the depth sounder was not working well either.

Maybe one of their NavNET 3D (NN3D) MFDs with TimeZero display? If so, would have been your choice of NOAA raster charts (pictures of paper charts), NOAA vector charts, C-Map vector charts, and Navionics vector charts up 'til I guess Garmin ended that.

My 2 cents. I had Garmin for years and it served me well. I bought my new boat thinking that I would ripe out the old. Than go with Furuno, my 1st choice. But the boat came with all Simrad that was 3 years old.

Simrad vs Garmin for me was easier to use. The menus and pull down are very intuitive over Garmin and I would never go back.
