Advantages: Fast, Seaworthy, and Economical to run Disadvantages: No cuddy cabin to get out of the weather
The GradyWhite Sportsman 180 is a perfect inshore fish killing machine. I've had my 2005 Sportsman 180 since new and have had no complaints or problems in the 100 hours I have put on it. Living in San Diego, the boat is perfect for 3/4 day trips to the Coronado Islands, or further out to the 425 and other fishing spots. The boat is also easily trailered for trips down to Baja California. Lastly, adding trim tabs to the boat is like adding 2 feet to its length.
The Sportsman 180 is a very seaworthy vessel and is the biggest feeling/acting boat in its class. I also want to mention that this boat powered with a Yamaha F150 4-stroke is very economical, getting nearly 5 miles per gallon at 30 knots. Couple that with a 60 gallon fuel tank and you have a boat with a lot of range.

Advantages: Battery life, easy to use Disadvantages: Size
The Garmin Nuvi 265 is a nifty piece of GPS software you can use if you are need of directions or want to get from A to B quickly.
Its amazing picture quality and features are able to assist you wherever you are. It is easy to set up and use and is easy to keep with you due to its small size.
However, one of the problems is the size. I have found that the Garmin Nuvi 265 maybe a bit too small for your long car trips. For example, I have found that looking/peering at a small screen whilst driving can be difficult but this problem can be resolved by putting it in a place of easy view.
In conclusion this is a great GPS device with an outstanding battery life. It is simple to use and the only thing that would need improving in my opinion is the size. ...
