Alan,
Maybe a standalone loran just for fishing when you get out, then use the gps to navigate. You can pick up a cheap 2-line furuno loran for about 250 on ebay, in working condition. Furuno RD-30's are about 400 new with antenna. I was gonna buy one from ebay just for navigation while trolling, then leave my plotter set on gps for accuracy. That way I could here the lines as reports came in, use the contour lines from my cmap plotter, and the extra unit would be a backup for navigation if my main plotter failed on me. Just a thought, and hey, another antenna on the top makes you look professional.
