Wow!! Almost half the cost of the 5 inch model and has chirp!! Now that's awesome.

Something seems odd that 4.3 inch compared to 5 inch is that big a price difference. Am I missing something?

I would go with the new DragonFly 5 it looks like they kept the knob on thew new 7. The knob does get annoying at times.

What's the catch with the new dragonfly 4? Does It come with a transducer?

I've used both the RayViewer and RayRemote apps for my A98 and it works great. Pretty much instantaneous feed to phone. Its awesome.

I figure I could sell mine for around 1100-1300 and pick one up a few hundred more? I really don't wanna hang a pvc over the side for transducer. Any ideas how to stick it in the water any other way?

So I grabbed a 2014 model early in year . There is one other method that works well. Lowrance sells mount that slides through scupper hole in back of yak . Transducer will be in water exposed slightly under yak . Of course you will negate one of the best features of the hobies , which is the add on bait tank with rod holders .
