Thanks for all the cool info. I got my two pairs of sunglasses from Aeropostale. They are identical except one is polarizing and one is not. I'm leaving on vacation today but when I get back I will do a side by side comparison driving the boat on big water. These glasses are decent quality and look nice and only cost $12 and $7 so no big deal when I lose or break a pair.
I also keep a ziplock baggie on board with an assortment of men's and women's sunglasses for friends who forget to bring some.

not just a boat problem... none of the digital gauges in my z06 read correct with polarized raybans. I thought the car was messed up.

Time for a conclusion after 1 year! On the big lakes (Great Lakes) when I need to read the water I've found that when the sun is behind me I ditch the polarized glasses for non-polarized. The water becomes brighter and much easier to read. All other times the polarized are much better. Cheers to all and I hope everyone is having a safe and trouble free boating season!

ive been using motorcycle road/cruiser sunglasses for yrs,,,,
non polar to see gps and no glare off of waves to read em
and transfer lens that lightens and darkens to sun,,,actually go clear on cloudy days or nightfall
wrap around design with foam insert to keep any wind from blowing on eyes
can turn head to look behind and don't fly off,,,,lol,,,
as on a bike gotta see gauges,,,no road glare and turn head to see behind,,,,,win win
down fall is at high en bike shops not cheap and on really hot days gotta lift en every 1nce in a while to let some cool air on eyes,,,
been using same pair offshore runnin for yrs
