Looking to purchase the Garmin 172C, I know I have seen on here talk of the bluechart. What should I be looking for, the preloaded data card or something else.

I'd recommend the BlueChart Americas v6.5 CD with single un-lock, rather than the pre-programmed Gulf chip and, get a 16MB memory chip ...

Not so fast, my friend!
As is always the case, I know the answer to this question.
The reason, comparing La. to Fla., is that La. has a huge, depth of coastal marsh (swamp) compared to this area of Fla. Like the St. Marks to way down towards Cedar Key, the marsh is very, thin, and it's this area ...

You'd loose that bet! I'm not the Great Poobah of the fishing world as you may think. Just a plain ole Country Boy, trying to catch a little fish with a cricket!

Iz NW, down?

For those interested in a drier ride, give Wilderness System's, Pamlico, a look! They have big open cockpits with a choice of 3 hull materials. I've got the fiberglass, Pamlico Lite, that's very fishable and dry, up to a point if you don't go out in heavy wind/surf.

If they'd serve grits, fried eggs, bacon and biscuits I'd consider going!
I do like tea and cookies, but not near as much as the above.
