I have only sailed on inland lakes for the last 30 years and am now sailing in the Galveston Bay and soon to make a trip into the Gulf of Mexico for the first time. I want all other boats to be able to see us on Radar what is the best radar reflector? Thanks for any help.

There was a review of reflectors in Practical Sailor a few years ago. Can't recall their recommendation but you may be able to find it in their archives.
The Davis, mounted in the "Catch Rain" position
Edited to say-
Davis Echomaster. $52 from Defender, and works

Thanks for all the information. I am going to purchase the largest tri-lens. It showed great test results on both Practical Sailor and Yachting Monthly.
We've got the mid-size tri-lens on Escape and after a lot of internal testing in our club found it works really well - better and clearer returns than any of the other options. The Davis in the raincatcher was our second choice.
BTW, the large tri-lens is what US Navy subs use when they want to be seen - it may be overkill for your boat
