I had already bought a standard horizon explorer gps gx1700 vhf class d with the dsc transceiver. Put's the coastguard on your exact location.Catalina run's can get a little shakey at times. Although i'm not going on any foul weather days. I also bouhgt a d-55 ritchie compass, and a garmin echomap 50dv with US coastal charts. i feel like i'm loaded for bear,at least that's what my wallet tells me.Looks like Wranglers taylor made bimi tee top is the way to go. west marine sells a fabric top for it at $67.00. I have a friend that makes drapes, that can cut slots in the fabric for the 8' whip antenna and the forward console fishing rods to slip through.and if the frame of the tee top can clamp to the console hand rails with disconnect pins then my worries would be over.Wait and see after i talk with the guy from taylor made.
