Omatako - The B&G gear came stock with the boat in '02. B&G gear is very solid, but they don't have large chartplotters and radars, so I opted for Raymarine. If you are looking for B&G instruments and a small chartplotter, PM me, and I'll send you a list and pics of what I have. It's basically five of the 4"x4" cockpit gauges, the one autopilot gauge, and a chartplotter, which has about a 10"x10" display. I also have the H1000 brain unit.

As a side note, the B&G autopilot has an excellent "Wind Mode" feature. You basically choose your wind angle and set the offset. The boat will sail perfectly to weather while on autopilot. It'll even recognize wind shifts nicely.
