Thanks for all your comments. Remember, I'm not in a 30+ footer but a 25. While standing can be done, it usually means 1 or 2 hands on something to steady me, not the binocs ;-) I would rather be sitting on deck or in the cockpit.
Bottleinamessage-care to expand on why the Fujinon 14x40 IS is your pick? I would think a 10 or 12 mag would be better for marine use.
Also, anyone have a set of the Cannon's. I like the $350 to $600 price range, but I don't know what if anything I would be gaining with the $1000 to $1500 models. Fujinon also make a 12x32 waterproof set in the $750 range but they were not reviewed. Looking forward to more hands on data from actual users of the products.
