If anyone recently upgraded their unit and is looking to get rid of their old one let me know.

This is a link from Lowrance for the factory outlet store. You could look on E-Bay but the new 4.3" screen model is too new so you won't find any deals. I have upgraded from Lowrance x50ds to Elite 4 (which has the gps). I just bought the head unit and use the original transducer that I already had 83/200HZ. That only cost me $81 on an E-Bay auction and bought the base for $17. I also found another of the same unit including the transducer that had the attachment for the bracket broken off. It all works and I got it for a wining bid of $86. So now both my kayak have the same system for a very low cost to upgrade both. Good Luck http://lr.factoryoutletstore.com/det...egory_id=35370

Thanks, I wasn't aware that the transducers were interchangeable. That might help me out in putting an affordable unit together.

Just make sure the plugs on transducer cable coincide with the ports on the head unit.

BPS is advertising a New Lowrance HDI for $199.

http://www.basspro.com/Lowrance-Elit...SELL_THUMBNAIL

Do their 6 month pay and it will be easier to purchase. I love their 6 month pay plan.

Don't buy anything from factory outlet store ! Biggest mistake of my life and if you check the reviews it's pretty obvious these guys are crooks! Over 350 reports filed with bbb in last 6 months . I went to basspro and bought mine. 299 for the hdi elite 4 with a 3 year warranty

I can second this! I cancelled an order and they still held my money for 2 months. I eventually called the C/C company and they fixed it.

I ordered my elite 4 hdi w/ 83/200 from imarine and had it 2 days later when everyone was sold out.

I opted for gold as well

Either way the BPS 6 month pay makes it easier to hook up the gear you want and not have to pay full price up front.

That deal expired last week. I should have jumped on that sooner.

Even though it's not listed on the website, if you call them and ask for the 6 month pay, they will set it up for you. I have done this a few times. It's a pain to have to call them, but it beats having to wait for the next time it's offered on the website.

I think the HDI is a new release so you may have difficulty getting it used or on ebay.
I would agree buying new. All the "advanced search" on this BWE forum I've done when shopping for my Elite 4, gps, gold navionics pointed me to go new AND buy the warranty.
One of the crusty old guys said to get the warranty because with all of the launch and landings we kayakers do it WILL fail.
just my .02.
