When budgeting for additional items to complete the fitting out of your cruising boat, always consider buying the best. Perhaps that will be the best you can afford, but nevertheless this should be the best. Most experienced cruising people can relate stories of their own regrets at cutting corners, when purchasing a particular item of boating gear. Naturally you will be looking for the best price; you had better be, or your cruising experience will be shortened due to over-extending your budget. If you allow a known price for a particular item and then are able to obtain it at a better price, then you will be able to offset the cost overruns that will certainly occur.
