Furuno radar best. Great cust service/tech support
Raymarine ive heard has awful customer service/tech support

I’m not saying the other players are in top financial shape but Raymarine is not in a financial position that will allow it to continue operations much longer unless it can find a buyer.

The below is from Raymarine as of July 16 2009

2008 was an awful year. I know of one of the mainstream online parts suppliers on the east coast saying that business was 50% down. Custom prop shops saying customers were getting props repaired instead of replaced. Two West Marine stores closed near my launch ramp along with the Boaters World. I remember the thread on CSR about Raymarine almost going under. I was very tempted to call Furuno and ask them how there doing. There stuff seemed to be the #1 choice for the commercial fleets for years. Probably still is. Sad if Raymarine got the market share.
