Other than online or at an overpriced marina, where can you get these things? It doesn't appear Best Buy or any of the "box" stores carry them.

Who has one? Which one do you have and why? I saw a Uniden in the Cabala's catalog for $150. I know you can get them cheaper, but it came with a case, Lithium Ion rechargeable batteries etc. |

Portable or fixed? I have both on my boat. My portable is a 4 year old Uniden. It works great, the newer models are much more compact. |

I was considering a portable. All of my boating is on inland lakes and a portable won't require wiring/installation. |

I have a SeaFit unit (Uniden branded for BoatUS). LiIon battery. Works great. The boat also has a fixed unit by Standard Horizon that is DC. It's attached to the gps via the NMEA0183 bus so position data is sent inase of an emergency. |

Standard Horizon handheld. Incredible build quality, and usually found on ebay for around $100. |

We do most of our boating on inland lakes, but rent a house a once or twice a summer on the waters that connect to Lake Michigan. I bought a used handheld (Standard Horizon) off of eBay for around $40. It's perfect for the limit use it gets but comes in very helpful in getting weather information and hailing marina when coming into the gas dock. |
