Well I decided on the equinox 600 from Barts. Great person to deal with. I think the best. I have a Tesoro SS , but I wanted something with new tech also. I know it has some weak points but there were more good points about the machine. I'll use it for dry wet, and shallow surf. If it's rough surf I'll use the SS. Still like the SS but I don't wade out as far anymore at 70 yrs old. Any advise on setting her up and what to lookout for appreciated. I may have it in a couple of days or a week. I'm Happy.
