I like Furuno in your list. a 4' antenna is awfully big for a 30' boat.

Lake Geneva is at least 30 miles long and maybe 15-20 wide. A fog and you
could get very lost. But the lakes are in beautiful settings.

How can you get "LOST" if you know shore is in ANY direction and less
than 15 miles away?????? This isn't "Lost", it is only incompitance....

I have narrowed it down to Furuno and Simrad - Simrad seems to have the
edge with radar, and similar reliability.

only because the OEM is closer to you, than Japan. Check the High Seas
Fishing Fleets, they use Furuno Radars, 3 to 1 over Simrads, and there
IS a reason for that.
