Cheaper than a load of fuel or two for anybody who fishes offshore. Make two less trips this year and buy that.
There isnt any excuse and sitting behind our keyboards we know that, but it's tough logic for a coonass to swallow. I've spend much more than that on dumb shite this year but we dont think that way. Im sure we've all pointed the boat at a purple cloud and said frick it and went anyway at some point and got away with it.
Of course, going offshore on an iffy day without any electronics is probably still significantly safer than driving back and forth to work. We're all playing the life lottery every day and these guys just drew the short straw that day.

no doubt
also, just to add more info, here's how the beacon works. after you buy it, you register it with NOAA and SARSAT. the instructions to do that come with the beacon. each beacon has a unique ID number, which will be tied to your registration. registration is free and is good for 2 years. you'll get a reminder email when its time to renew.
when the beacon is activated, SAR will instantly have the following info:
LAT/LON on the location of the beacon
your name, address, emergency contact info and the make/model/color of your boat
there is a safe-mode test you can periodically perform to make sure it is working.
