What is the best camera to use for a permanent mount application on an offshore boat ? Looking for durable and small with a decent mounting bracket.

Happy with my GoPro. They now are offering a HD model as well. The Mac software is great for editing etc.

If you want something that will stand up to the strain, try an ELMO

I think these are the same cameras that Freeze Frame and several of the teams use

I love my GoPro HD. Plus it comes with a waterproof housing. 
Now, if only the weather down here would get warmer I could get some more footage!!!
