Sale is pending to Bert Vega, Lipripper it's yours if that falls through.

TJones, unfortunately the Lowrance ready spot on the older (~2009) Stealths were designed I think before HDI was a thing and unlike the PA Lowrance Ready area, the Stealth is much smaller and only really designed to take the small 83/200 standard ducer. Even the 83/200 HDI is a little too big but it works, I've just gotta be careful not to crush it loading and unloading from the roof of my car.

I've been out a few times with it since I made the switch and I am definitely impressed with the color HDI scan vs my old B&W. I think the 50/200 would be nice though especially now that most of the yellows are hiding below 180' and the 83/200 definitely seems to get a little less defined even at that depth.
