Too Much Electronics ?

[TwoRivers]

Hello All,
This post may belong in Marine Electronics. I have a Icon M710 Single Side Band radio with a At 130 automatic tuner,two GPS,two fish finders,plus a VHF marine radio on my recently purchased boat. I also have Furano Radar with colored sounder. I have 8 antennas on my boat.
I am thinking about dumping some of this stuff,especially the single side band. My boating is done on the Arkansas River in Little Rock,AR. What do you say?
Thanks

If you arent miles offshore you dont need the SSB... Id be willing to bet you have cell coverage most of the time.

Depends what type of fishery you are in. We were required to have one.

Thanks guys. Down to four antennas from eight antennas. Have the Single Side Band off of the boat and am going to sell it.
