Steve,
I'm interested to know how it works out.
I could use new instruments (mine are just original depth and speed from 1986) - plus I've been hankering for a autopilot.
That site is selling a Raymarine SPX-5 Wheelpilot for $675 (vs $1900 for a EV-100 kit from Binnacle).  http://www.sale-tools.com/products/Raymarine-SPX%252d5-Wheelpilot-Pack-with-p70.html

From what I can find the SPX-5 is ~7yrs old.  Any thoughts from the group on the value of newer technology? I could add the ST60 pack for $659 (rather than $1800 for a current set). and still spend less than I was thinking for just an autopilot. -- I'm guessing it's smarter to match the Raymarine autopilot with the Raymarine instruments rather than the Garmin.

Both use the NMEA2000 and SeaTalk - so they should work together and with other gear.

Any thoughts?  If it's just older gear at a good price then might be a good deal...... Ok  - A little searching for reviews looks like the site is bogus. 
Just for interest I tried entering an order using fake address etc - they want a bank transfer sent - do not accept credit cards or even PayPal!

Shoot.  Enough to get my hopes up.

My concern is just the reputation of the vendor, not so much the product.

The ST60 instruments are very reliable.  At  that price you should stop thinking and start spending.  You will not regret it

 

IMO the ST60 series is more robust and superior to the newer i50/i60 (which we have)

I have had the st 60 pack on Alianna for 7 or 8 years now and I really like it, big numbers easy to read and no big issues with any component yet.  that is a very good price

Hi, anyone ever buy anything from sale-tools.com?

 

Their prices on marine electronics are unbelievable (literally). Seems fishy but I figured it's worth asking. Some of their stuff is older so it makes sense that it would be cheap (ST60 three pack for ~700 etc).

 

Thoughts?
