Re: SSB?
The Icom 718 is what was recommended to me. Unfortunately, when I went to install it in my nav. station it was one ( 1) inch too deep. %&)#%@! So I went with the Icom 706MKIIG. This will fit anywhere. The face plate detaches (with I did not have to do) and measures about one (1) inch deep! The 7...

Dinghy Issue
Tom: Ah, yes - the dinghy. The existing dinghy hoist brackets (on my boat) can be extended. If need be, a support(s) could be added either to the new brackets or to the transom.

Insurance in SE Florida
Ditto to Free Spirit's post.
Good news: For whatever reason, Progressive lowered their rates!
Bad news: They only cover 125 nm off US coastline. No rider available to extend this.
