That's pretty dang big, Boat will look like a whirlly Bird hat on the nerd school kid.

I'm installing a Simrad TXO6 on a 31 Jupiter right now. The fellow bought it used from a guy that was upgrading to a Halo 4


When I finally get around to it.... It will probelly be a 24in dome

I have a narrower beam on my boat and am dying to put a 4' open array on it. Some would think it looks odd, some would think it looks cool. Personally I wouldnt care. I would want to see birds.

The 4' is not really that much bigger than the 3.5' arrays.

If I'm ever able to put radar on my boat, I will hold out for a 3 or 3.5' open array.
The resolution is so much better...

That is true that open array gives better resolution but mostly at distance. Unfortunately open array radars have a larger main bang so they are not as good in close range like for harbors than a radome. For navigation purposes in close range on a small boat, a good radome is better. Solid state the best.

I have a 4kw 24" UHD Furuno radome. However I want a 4' open array, the new Furuno X-band, radar but that is so I can find birds when I fish in southern Maryland beyond the eyes of my stabilizing binoculars. If I could see birds 5-6 nautical miles out I would be in heaven. Now I just need 5-6 grand laying around without my wife going nuts.

Here is my Ultra-high definition 24" radome with trails set to 1 minute with the trolling fleet around me on a pod of fish.

Same here but there were birds around us causing the little targets among the boats

Annapolis harbor with trails off. You can see all the mooring balls (and harbor queen just backing away from the dock in front of Ego Alley)
