Group buy for waterproof 12" screen?

Hey all, I have been using a waterproof 12 volt 1000 nit daylight readable screen for the past 2 years. Has been great, only complaints are that the brightness is hard to control. Some of my earlier videos show it (forget which episode). It's a resistive touch - so i do keep a touch pen handy for complex operations, but the monitor will even work underwater let alone with a bit of rain or ocean spray.

I have the 10 inch, and since I share the chartplotter with radar am thinking to get a 12" screen. I'm willing to ship out units at cost (no markup) if the supplier gives enough of a discount for quantity that it would be cheaper to do so.

My only vested interest is my overall support of open source tech including pypilot and opencpn. No reason nowadays to spend tens of thousands of $ on chartplotters if you don't want to - OpenCPN is useable (in my experience) as a chartplotter as long as you use the scale up option.

Not sure if a group buy would make sense, but lmk here or by PM if interested. Cheers
