Here are Jeff's choices for a dream navigation setup on a budget of $25,000. The dashboard is getting full: two Raymarine E-120 displays, multiple cameras, open-array radar, AIS, Navionics Platinum charts, Nobeltec software – even a pair of underwater transom lights. The prices quoted here are street prices, meaning the prices that the average boater could expect to pay, which were gathered by comparison shopping at half a dozen stores and web sites. Sales tax and installation costs are not included, but part numbers were.
