Evaluating Marine SurveyorsOften taken for granted, the decision to engage a marine surveyor is one of the most important ones you can make. Here's some important advice in advance. High-End VHF Radios: Icom and Standard Horizon Get Top Honors Strong performance and a long list of features make the Icom M602 our top pick. For $175 less, the Standard Horizon Quantum GX2360S nearly equals the Icom's performance and features, making it a Best Buy. Mid-size Inflatables: Mercury Wins Mercury's 240 outperformed six other roll-up inflatables with a dry ride, excellent control, and the lowest price. Bombard's AX2 is good, but short on space. And West Marine's RU-260 is big, but expensive. Perko, Hella, and Orca Green Shine LED running lights are getting better all the time. Hella Marine's new NaviLED Pro series just manages to edge out Perko's 170 Series for top honors in our test, while Orca Green Marine makes the best LED tri-color. Columbia 30 The new Sport Sailer from Columbia Yachts is an avowed attempt to bridge the gap between performance cruisers and purpose-built racers. | ||||||||
