: for me. I intend to use it mainly for lakes in my area and possibly some

: tracking is important tho.

Finally got my desktop up and running again, though still have a pile of wires to hide and came on here to see what I've missed and "finally" remembered to look at the pix

Design looks really nice to me, nice strong sheer shape, I like it
