Sounds like a "happily ever after" story -- I'm glad for you and hope your happiness is long lived.

If you're interested I have a Lowrance (Navico) BR24 Broadband radar that would be compatible with a Simrad display. I'm about to put it on eBay. It is brand-new (bought at this Spring Defender sale) but it fell about 2 feet (boatyard was responsible) and plastic tabs that attach the dome to the gray plastic base cracked. (I can give you more info and show pictures). The boatyard paid for a replacement and allowed me to keep the damaged one. It tests good electrically but the warranty was voided, and I bought a replacement cover so it is now repaired with a new dome. I'd sell it for $1050 with a no-questions 30-day return option. Shoot me an email or call if you're interested.
