Well bit the bullet on what I have read and listened to. Taken delivery of my new Surtees 495 with a  70hp 4 stroke on the bum. 

Got a Simrad G07 getting fitted and its kinda nice just knowing its home.
Wondering  if anyone with a similar rig who could spare a little amount of time giving any heads up on their experience on what seems a really tidy unit? Simrad included.

Oh went for tote tanks, just a extra cost thing and I haven't read too much bad stuff about that decision.

Seriously any pointers, advice or ideas greatly appreciated....many thanks
