Ross awesome !
Look here, my 2-cents...
I think having a pc on a boat is a very good idea.. as most will say the salt in the air will hurt it, but how do you think the depth finders, gps, and so on live up to the salt waters ?
1 - Most boats have very large deep cycle batteries to begin with!
2 - boats are smooth cars ride bumpy..
3 - Most people that own a boat CAN afford the right stuff to make it nice..
of course get the parts from mp3car.com ..
4 - You guys at mp3car.com mite even want to do installs! see I fix pc;s for a living and i know people that have money no nothing about PCs.. so over all my answer to this having a new forum for boats! YES A BIG YES good job keep up the good work! Ross from www.suncam.tv the only Florida mobile car cam!

Just when you thought you'd seen it all!! Guys, I've been away from CarPCs for a bit because of problems with the car and numerous other things in my life piling up. So tonight, I thought I'd stop in and see how mp3car is doing. Scrolling down the list and see BOATPC????
You mean to tell me after this thread: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/show...ghlight=BoatPC and those who doubted the idea, we get this forum?? Of course, I thank the mp3car admins for starting this forum, but wow... just didn't think I'd see it go from a question to this. I'm not trying to take credit... just shocked.

What chart plotter software are you using? I have a few friends that are working on this type of project. One of these days when I have free time I would really like to write a work log for it. If you decide to write one let me know and I will create a boat computers work log section.
