I also have been looking into a way to get feedback from my bank. I admit my needs are different than a boater needs, but I like your system. I am thinking of a dedicated E-book reader that receives the information via WiFi from an arduino board set to monitor my system locations of interest. The right reader will give me a sun safe and easy to read display. My past experience with LED displays is they are a little power hungry. The Problem with LCD displays are sun will black them out and destroy them with time. The idea of electric paper type display may well overcome these problems. I just need to find the right tablet that I can do some Java programming on (modify it's intended design), and build an apt. I suppose I could use a smart phone and keep up with the data remotely but that is more involved than I have desire for.

Thanks Mike,
Quite interesting.
