[Music]  hi Jeff Cote with Pacific cod systems  here we are at the in Vancouver  International Boat Show and we're  promoting a lot of garment we really  believe in Garmon weezing Garmin's  provides a really reliable product easy  to use and it really plays nice with  other manufacturers you know they're not  so territorial so it's easy to grow into  Garmin and then over time you know maybe  you're not a pilot and from a different  manufacturer we'll be able to interface  that so it's sort of about this whole  you don't have to go wholesale one  manufacturer we can get you on the  Garmin path slowly and surely here we  are looking at what I consider to be the  flagship series of Garmin  this is the 8000 series we've got an  8000 series 16-inch start Potter and  here we ride beside that we've got a 22  inch charcoal chart plotter a lot of  boaters when we get on board boats and  we're stars figuring out what's the  right size of a chart plotter a lot of  us in our minds are thinking oh 12  inches as big as I need to be I don't  need to go bigger but you have to see it  in person right and this is what's so  useful about these boat shows are coming  into a store and figuring out that you  know what maybe 12-inch in your mind was  right and I've had a lot of owners  coming to me and say Jeff I'm sold on a  12-inch  without having seen one and for instance  here's an example of a 16-inch a lot of  people say they want 16-inch a 12-inch  but then they see a 16-inch like no no  you know what Jeff in hindsight I  thought I wanted 12-inch but if I look  at this what this 16 inch display does  and especially if you have the room on  your dash right and you can actually put  it in write it in there this is an  amazing display I have an owner for  example we're thinking of doing this  putting a 16 up top and then a nine down  below they're mostly on the flybridge so  instead of you 12 12 we're doing let's  put a larger display upstairs at the  upper helm and let's put a lower display  smaller display at the lower hump this  is sort of very you can see the bezels  is very tiny it's all glass it's shiny  amazing with the 8000 series you  go up to a certain size about 2:16 and  you can buy them with sound or without  sounder after 16 when you go into bigger  sizes like this 22 inch this 22 inch  display you'll need to if you want a  sounder you're gonna need to buy a black  box like maybe GSD 25 or 26 and so  you're gonna need a sort of a black box  to work with this to actually see the  sound or imaging on it we've had this on  boats we've done one boat where we  actually put three of those side by side  mind you was a larger boat it was about  an 85 footer but what was so wonderful  about it is you know the owner could  actually look on one screen which is  chartplotter another screen is just  cameras another screen is Rick sounder  sometimes radar you can pick and choose  what you want but it's really got that's  wow factor so the 8000 series from  Garmin it's funny how many owners don't  think they want it until they see it so  if you haven't had a chance to see this  screens these are really really  phenomenal and I highly recommend  considering them thanks for watching
