Pricetag on that beast?

[PE.rider]

List Price is 649. Downvision to 600 ft, traditional to 1200 ft. Looks promising...

Definitely ON the List to Buy. Start saving those greenbacks!

[jorluivil]

That's a great price but I'm always a little pessimistic about having the newest technology.

From the manual -

Maximum depth

189 m (600 ft) — Optimum fresh water conditions.

Applies to both Sonar and DownVision.



From ebay listing:

High resolution Down Vision images up to 250 ft.
Conventional sonar performance up to 600 ft.

Sounds like someone is planing a suicide kayak swordfish hunt with those depth readings. I'll bring the cinder blocks!

most fish finders put out 500 watts. the dragonfly FF puts out only 8 watts.
This FF is better suited for fresh shallow lakes. Its a weak Fish finder in my opinion.

Have not heard good things about gps store plus can you get a warrenty? What kind of coupons are out there btw?

Would rather get from west marine due to warrenty but want to consider all options.

Fyi oex sells and offers the same warranty as west marine.

Alan it will catch kelp id say. Off rudder bracket may be best.

I've bought quite a few things from them over the years. I bought my HDS5 from them for $439. Haven't had any issues with my units, so can't comment on warranty.
The coupons are code based coupons, like spend $300 get 10% off,. Google, GPS store coupons and try the codes until you find one that works.

No extended warranty at the GPS store:
Does The GPS Store, Inc. offer an extended warranty?

No, The GPS Store, Inc. does not offer any extended warranties on the products we sell. Studies have shown that extended warranties are usually only a good value to the people who are selling them. Here at the GPS Store, Inc., we only sell products by reputable manufacturers who offer sufficient end user warranty's which are included in your purchase price. In fact we have found that once a unit powers up and works the first time, the ongoing failure rate is less than one half of one percent. We always strive to provide the best value for our customers and we simply do not believe in extended warranties on GPS and marine electronics products.

So maybe not the best choice for you.
