....thinking I was going to pick up a Lowrance HDS 5 for the new PA14 I'm picking up on Tuesday - and what am I greeted with when I get there? The most kick-ass managers special I've ever seen on the HDS 7! Based on online research I expected to pay somewhere's about $850 - 875 for an HDS 5, but the special was $899 for the 7 - with the 50/200 transducer! That not only blows away the best online price I can find of $1100, it annihilates it.
So now not only do I have an awesome screen size, but the 7 uses less power than the 5 because it uses LED backlighting and the 5 doesn't! Yes, I'm a happy camper. If you are jonesing for one of these - get down there before christmas eve to take advantage of the deal.
