Today Matt picked up our new chart plotter, a Lowrance HDS-8M (displays marine maps, our location and programmed destinations). This was no impulse purchase as months of exhaustive research and navigation system design were key in deciding on the 8M. After several months of monitoring and bidding on eBay, we finally secured the chart plotter at a great price, saving over $600 off retail. As a bonus, the eBay seller is located in Dallas so we were able to save on shipping and ensure it was in new condition before buying it.
