Bentley, since you seem to be a Formula salesman, I'm not going to argue with you. I did a lot of research in 2007 on mid size cruisers before buying mine. It was the best combination of value and styling for me.

My boat has marine GPS, so the risk of running into an island is reduced. If it's raining is so hard I can't see the lights of other boats, GPS is no help so I slow down. If I had radar, I could go a little faster, but then again how good does radar work in heavy rain. Operating a vehicle requires good sense, you need to know the limits of your vision and the limits of your tools in the existing conditions. If you have doubts in either you slow down.
