The early adopters of marine electronics can be found in the competitive fishing scene. Here’s a story on a guy who outfitted his boat to the fullest extend. Like the article says: “he’ll be at the helm of a boat with a control panel that resembles the Starship Enterprise”
“An impressive array of electronics — everything from a laptop computer and wireless monitors to color sonar, a Lowrance LCX-104C, and global positioning system technology — covers the dashboard of Samson’s 20-foot Crestliner walleye fishing machine. As technological trappings go, not even Mr. Spock or Capt. Kirk could claim bragging rights over Samson.”
