Bought a new Garmin...

[Sam3]

Actually a refurb.

Garmin GPSMAP 540s. Not bad for the price, the 540 is what I really wanted.

Nice, that is one of BOE Jim's sites.

I bought my Tabs and LMF 400 thru them.

You should have that unit in 2 days.

Solid vendor who has a forum on thehulltruth to give advice and help with stuff.

Very knowledgeable.

Congrats!

nice unit sam ,I know you will like it the maps on the garmin unit are great.best of luck w/ it

[Sam3]

Thanks guys.

I did see it at the BOE site on Hull Truth. The 498 was a good deal too, but too small of a screen I thought.

I did buy the external antenna as well.
I'll pick up the G2 map software over the summer after I get comfortable with the unit.

Yep, Jim owns a few sites and has good prices (which you can usually do even better if someone else has it for less).
