Aaron, Get one and change your name to Bubba. They do look nice.

This also has a DVD-RW drive. This is a low hrs CF-31 as tough as they come.

This toughbook is in VG condition with a fresh installation of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with COA. The 64 bit makes full use of the 6GB of RAM. The screen on these are super bright for sunlight viewing but can easily be dimmed for inside work. Everything works and all drivers have been installed as shown in the device manager pic. You can access the WWW wired and wireless. Included is a Edimax Dual Band AC 600 for fast (ac) WIFI connections. It also has a AC charger. These Thoughbooks cost thousands new. There is some rash on the bottom where it was sitting in it's docking station but you'll will be amazed at the overall condition. This one has not had to endure the conditions these were designed for and has very light use. Great for Marine, Oil Fields, Construction, etc. $750.

For and addition $50 I'll set up a GPS chartplotter with a DC charger and a USB GPS receiver and all the GLs Charts. I'm posting this here first.

Email or PM

A warm to the site.

Grant, Congrats on the new ride.

Kal, Nice work.

Woz, A warm to the GLF site. It sure is a cool video.

This has been sold on another site and is pending payment and pickup Fri.

I have a couple of more people interested in this and I may set up a couple of more. As mentioned I have used this one successfully for years and have another one ready to rock for the upcoming year.

Mike, I agree 100%. It was a very good year and our future still looks bright.

Pescador, A warm to the site.

Here are a couple of closeups. The trim on the bottom was already in place and the 1"x4" at the top was there also as I had it in place around most of the garage to hang things from. I hope these pics help or maybe give you some ideas.

John Van, Congrats. ^5s

I may put it on CL or eBay soon.

Priority1 can you send a closer picture of that rod storage setup? I've been unhappy with my rod holders and thinking of building something.

I'll go out later this evening a get a couple of shots. I'll pull a couple rods out so you can see with and without rods in place. It's simple to do and the cost is very reasonable. I used a self feeding Forstner type bit for the bottom holes. I have a ledge around the garage perimeter where the stud walls meet the concrete blocks. You may come up with an even better way.

Jason, Nice work on the Big Manistee. 11hrs.??? You're more of a diehard than I am.

Mine always get stored in the garage between trips and over the winter. I have a 1x3 on the bottom with some 1" or 1-1/4" holes drilled half way through. The 1 inch board up higher has small screw eyes that are pinched down to the exact size. I put the rods in with them lower and the rod taper fits in the hooks. As I slide the rods up to put the butt ends in the drilled holes the rod diameter gets larger and will not come out of the hooks. It's a very inexpensive way to keep the rods organized and ready to rock. I'll soon be bringing them in the basement a few at a time for re-spooling. Here is a pic of my walleye trolling rods in the rack.

The only drawback with this is, my wife can easily see how much gear I have.

This system meets the USCG requirement that all commercial vessels carry charts onboard. No need for the paper versions.

Thanks guys, Frank I live in Linwood. Slip the boat over in ludington though

My Bro slips his in Ludington also. FishHook is his handle and I think he has a 29 SeaRay. It's still good to have another Eastsider onboard. Just holler if you need any help. There are lots of knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly people here.

Nice boat. I'll bet she does boogie with that 150 Yamaha.

Richard, A warm to the GLF site. It's good to have another Saginaw Bay area person aboard. I live between Au Gres and Tawas. I like your new rig.

The first pic in the initial post show a screen shot of the chartplotter maintaining a GPS position in my kitchen. The pic in this post is a camera shot down in my basement with this unit maintaining position. This is zoomed all the way in. When it's zoomed all the way in the depth numbers are readable from the back of the boat several feet away. Zoomed in to the max shows about 2 miles N-S and 2 miles E-W. The system doesn't require or use any signal except the GPS signal to run the plotter. I was just asked this question so I wanted to make it clear. On the boat this has never lost signal and I keep the charger plugged in at all times to maintain max brightness.

Roger, ^5s Congrats. Good things happen to good people.

For Sale Panasonic Toughbook GPS Chartplotter 13.3". Recently updated to Windows 7 pro complete with COA sticker. There is also a COA sticker for Windows XP but XP has been uninstalled. This system has so many features and hot keys. To zoom in you simply press control and Z. Zoom out Control X. With the Control key it's A for automatic, D for dashboard, 1 through 4 for different brightness, T for track, and finally but most important simply hit control and space bar for MOB (man overboard). This system comes with an AC charger, DC charger (boat or car), GPS receiver, Copy of Windows 7 pro DVD, Copy of Drivers. I will continue to run this same system in my boat as I have for years. $400 you pick up with a complete demonstration included, or pay actual postage. The Toughbook is all that the name implies. A commercial used to show a Hummer backing over one. It will take a splash and some bumps. Extra battery pack included. Another feature that I like is coordinates at the upper dashboard is your real position and the ones at the lower are the cursor position. A lot of neat features if you have a large dashboard for this to instal on. Mine is installed on the dash of a 22' Starcraft Islander. Also included is a visor not shown. PM me for more information or phone number.

Of course this can be used as a computer for light use such as checking your email and visiting and posting on this website. WIFI and ethernet connections. All covers are in place and the computer is in overall good condition.

Rick, A warm to the GLF site.

Haha - geezzz... I don't think I have ever seen forecasts for 23ft waves on the great lakes before.

The gales of November.
