A list of pros & cons would be appreciated.

I've had two Furuno radars. They are the best hands down. My current is a Navnet 1933C 3.5' array. Amazing.

I am running Furuno 1934C and love the unit. Just installed sat weather this weekend. The difference between Furuno 1800 & 1900 is Radome versus open array. Both are good, unless you are looking for birds. Then you'll need 25kw array. My 6kw is not sensitive enough for birds, and I'm running out of money. Good luck in you search. Jack

I want the radar for navigation & collision avoidance.Its going to be mount on a Gulfstream, so room for mounting is limited.Money is a concern, but I would rather buy a quality unit,then get a deal on something I would't be happy with.

The 1834 has no compromises, 10.4" screen, c-map chart and flawless radar. You wouldn't be making a mistake choosing Furuno. Only one thing you must be committed to learning the unit, not easy in the first couple of weeks and reading the manuals may give you a headache, At First. Once you are up to speed you won't change your mind. I suggest demo'ing the unit in a shop first. Call consumer marine (should be close to you) see if they have a unit on display to demo.

I run an 1834C on my boat as radar and sounder and love the unit!
