I have a Furuno non- networkable color sounder/gps that I'm very happy with, and now looking to add a radar.
The Furuno 1715 is a daylight readable stand alone LCD unit with a 7" screen for 1350.00 or so.
The Raymarine C70 is an integrateable system, 6.5" COLOR monitor and is 1800.00 with the radar package, and more$ to upgrade to gps/sounder.
Both units are 2.2kw and have a radome antenna.
While I only have the $ for the radar now and wouldn't upgrade the expandable system likely for a year or 2, I am seeking input from anyone who has used either of these units or has advice on my potential purchase.
I'm very interested to hear about respective performance and display attributes.
