The new boat comes with an amplified mast mounted TV antenna.
Adding a TV was not in scope for this year, but the Rigging Shoppe had a display model on sale for $300 off.
It is a 22" Majestic 12v flat panel with a built in ATSC tuner and DVD player.

Tried it out at home and the picture quality was pretty good.
The unit draws 1.6A@12v. Not bad considering I have seen inverters use between 8 and 10 amps to power a 60watt AC device. So watch a 2 hour movie at anchor and use 3.2AH vs 40 AH of power (or 1.6% vs 20% of a 200AH house bank).
Will be good to watch local weather reports and/or local news programs when cruising, or watch a DVD if the weather is terrible.
