Of all of the new products we have seen come out in the
last year for boaters, the XM WX WxWorx weather system is the highest tech and the
most useful. After all, given the kind of weather we have been having lately, with
thunderstorm cells coming through packing 50-knot winds, it would be nice to know
what is coming and going. The company sends all you need in a small box, besides
your chartplotter or laptop, and Capt. Smith got the system up and running in 5
minutes. The provider takes data from all available sources and sends it by satellite
to your antenna. In addition to radar weather maps you also get data from NOAA buoys
and even where different fish species are supposed to be biting. There is nothing
like it. Take a moment and see Capt. Smith’s video
demonstration…
