Ray marine A65: worth keeping as a repeater or for wifi?

[BelleSerene]

Should I sell it or fit it?

We got given a Raymarine A65 chartplotter with wifi as a prize in a regatta. Although it's all touch-sensitive and latest-tech compared with the C80 in our cockpit, I can't replace our C80 with this as the A65 is a smaller unit.

I was thinking of putting it on eBay as it's all in the box with manuals etc, but is it worth setting up by the chart table as a repeater, for the wifi capability, iPhone/ tablet control, etc?

I'd be grateful for any views users may have.

It won't repeat chart data from the C80, so you'll have to buy another chart cartridge if you want to use the A65 as a plotter. I'd be tempted to sell it.

Thank you. I'll advertise it on the For Sale forum.
