There are some deals out there if you wait and keep looking. Keep checking Kijiji... I picked up a barely used but older Raytheon system complete for $200 last fall. The seller had just bought the boat, the previous owner had barely used it. The new owner was upgrading all of the electronics, adding multifunction displays, etc., so the old Raytheon with CRT had to go. Works perfectly. So - there are some deals for cheap guys like us - but you have to keep looking, and when you find it, grab it.
