How much for one of those units fellas? My 1985 model King 1060 started coughing sparks and smoke a couple of days ago. Guess it's time for a new one? LOL

They've went up a bit in price MJ, cheapest I have found is $819 with a transom mount transducer. I was going to go with a GARMIN combo, but they're just to much money. So then I looked at a LOWRANCE, and have heard NUMEROUS horror stories with LOWRANCE and problems. I checked with SI-TEX and they're willing to cut me a killer deal, but it won't do everything I want. FURUNO is a top of the line machine so I think I'm going to go with a FURUNO 620 for a bottom machine and interphase it to a NORTHSTAR 550I external antenna and a fuel flow sensor added on for real time fuel milage. It's only gonna cost me about a $100 more than a combo and it will do everything I want without having to add in a NMEA2000 network. Plus if I upgrade to a larger boat with my 315HP MERCRUISER, the NORTHSTAR will interphase with the SMARTCRAFT ECM.
So how about some reports on that there 620 on the water.

I have not gave it a good test to say much yet, I still trying to learn how to use it all. But so far what I have seen works great! 35 knots and not a skip reads steady as a rock! But I did see fish on it and I caught fish so that says something!
As I get going I will see what she will do and I will fill you in.

I like it - I like it! Used it yesterday for the first time and learning how to use it. Didn't fish but did some cruising with the family. Impressed with it's color display and the ability to hold a steady bottom at 30 mph. I got mine at the GPS Store for $698.95 plus $9.95 for 2 day UPS delivery.
