I don't have a rich uncle. <sigh> Can't say I'm not jealous though.. looks like a great unit. Still, I have my good old Sitex MKII widescan color fishfinder for locating the fish, and my Lowrance M56 S/Map that I use for the GPS side of things, and I'm happy.. so I guess it's all good. I miss my Loran though.... lol

I hear where your coming from....I usually dont like laying out one big chunk of cash on an item. Its probably why I've waited so long (and still waiting) The way I am looking at this though is that currently I have almost literally no electronics on the boat...no chartplotter and an early 90's fish finders. So the need is there for sure...I'm sure I'd be happy buying a fishfinder and chartplotter for a couple hundred bucks a piece and they would be fine...the way I'm looking at this I need to come up with $300 or so EXTRA dollars to get what I really want.
