Bottomline Customer Service/Questions re Chartplotter, T-top

Follow up from when I reported a couple of months ago that my Bottomline 480 Tournament depthfinder was not working. Sent it to Bottomline on a Friday. By the following Thursday the service department concluded that mine had been a factory defect and they sent me a new one. Works fine now (I had a problem with the unit always showing 1.7 feet no matter where I was). About a week after my fishfinder was returned, my handheld GPS died...Lowrance said send it back. Had only used it three times. It is a new model and I am hoping it was just a fluke. Will report as to Lowrance service but the good news is that Bottomline was very responsive. Now thinking about a Garmin or Lowrance chartplotter...any suggestions or experince for a unit in the $500.00 range??? Also...has anyone had a T-top made from that place on Woodville Highway near St. Marks?

Look at the Garnin 172 Chartplotter. Look at the price at http://www.getfeetwet.com .

I stopped at the place on Woodville Highway and asked the guy about building a leaning post. He made it clear he didn't have time to mess with boats any more. Wound up at Pro Welding in Sopchoppy. First rate folks.

I've got the Garmin 172C and the bluechart. Been really happy
