Well everyone I have been tossing up the Radar to complete my Simrad system or going with the XM. For the money I decided to go with the XM weather. Spent the weekend learning all the functions. So far I will say it is money well spent. The nexrad radar loop update very fast once the system is up. The sst information is within a degree of the all the buoys I checked. And yes you can get all the latest buoy information on your boat!!! You also get sea and current information. Depending on the package you get you can get as much information as you need. I ended up with the Master Mariner package to start with. You can change the package any time there is no contract it is day to day (monthly). You can also suspend your account in the off season if you want with no additional fee. I will keep you updated.....Mark
