The price is great,so far.

Need to check (I haven't) if it has (needs) an external antenna. The normal new price is about $650. The antennas are around $65.

Price looks good and it is a great unit. But I would be weary buying electronics off of e-bay. make sure you the factory warrentys are still valid.

Thanks guys, I'm new to the ebay but saw a few guys on my shift get some amazing deals there.

You will also need to buy a chip of your local water ways which runs around $100.

I have the LMS 334C and love it. I also have the Lowrance Nautic Path chip ($75 on Ebay) and it is very accurite for the charts in my area. You can go to Lowrance and download the emulator for it and play with it before you buy to make sure you like it.

Here is the download site.
