Everything is changing, not just on boats. State of the art data cable and wires and gizmos in houses are suddenly obsolete. I'm involved in a casual brick and mortar store design. When it came to a check out area, things have changed, cash is rare. In fact we paused to consider if we even needed a clerk.

Many of the boats I've seen are layers and years of outdated electronics, some current, but rapidly becoming obsolete. Much is just filling a hole in a bulkhead.

An electronic house of cards, headed for the land fill.
