Funny...... start buying ocean-capable boats and gear for them, and suddenly, even really nice scopes don’t seem so expensive anymore! Perspectives.... unless you are into it, you likely cannot BELIEVE how much the big outboards cost, for instance. Not that I’m out there spending $25k on a single motor, mind you. But $800 for a scope is like, ouch... $800 towards a boat issue is like, a Tuesday, lol...
After 20 years of maintenance, I sold my boat and slip and now I take a charter trip a couple times a year. I could buy a car with the savings, and the guide always knows where the fish are.
