I sense a "Sub $600 Autopilot" going above the estimated price. That's OK, if the function/features are commiserate ( a ¢25 word) with the increase.

What, you couldn't afford the more expensive (75¢) word, "commensurate"? ;). Although, as the price goes up, perhaps "commiserate" is a better choice! :D

And is it a "quiet" or a "quite" autopilot? ;) :D

(Just ribbing you, guys!)

Ha ha! I was waiting for someone to quip "quite the quiet AP that never quits, quote, unquote". But with that, you are more skilled than I am.

I already posted $1200 and looks like it never entered. Came back from a 2 day Cruise to find out it wasn't. Not the first time!
Still looking for Victors AP.
