GreatKetch,
I have a Pentax with the exact same lens that you describe on my desk and I have played with Seaclear.
Yes, I think that you could get useable copies in the way that you have described.
To me the problem that you are looking at is that the marine community is very conservative and has a huge investment in existing maps/equipment.
There is almost no experience in working the way that you are describing.
Have you tried taking your setup out in your boat in an area that you know well (in good weather!) and trying it out?
