Idiens-
Plastic actually does quite well in a marine environment...since it doesn't rust.
CNC-
Most future equipment will be coming out with NMEA 2000 connectivity, which is designed to be easier and less confusing to work with than the NMEA 0183 stuff is...and higher bandwidth. If you can get a Chartplotter that will interface with NMEA 2000 specification gear, it would make sense to do that rather than one that is only NMEA 0183 capable IMHO.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
