Jon; I vicariously traveled along with you and your wonderful family on your trip; thank you for sharing your story and the great videos; do you have any other trips planned for the future? How would rate the boat for your trip, did it meet your needs? handle well? how well did it hold up for such a trip? etc.

At the time the West Marine unit was significantly less expensive than other units, in some case less than half the price. It has worked flawlessly. I installed a dedicated VHF antenna on the bimini frame and we can see traffic at > 20 miles. I liked the idea of having a redundant VHF antenna that would still be there if we lost the mast at sea, it also stays there when the mast is down on deck like it is when traversing the Erie Canal. The AIS is tied into 2 Garmin chartplotters (helm/nav station) using NMEA 0183 as well as a laptop running Polar Navy's Polarview chartplotting sw. I will say that the Polar Navy sw does a better job of handling AIS targets in terms of collision information than the Garmin's.
