Right now through BPS you can sign up for 6 month pay. The unit I got is selling for $199 and the color one that someone posted up is selling for $299. So I am paying $50 a month for the next 6 months for this and I also bought a Marine radio. I love it when BPS does the 6 month pay thing.

You have to order online or over the phone using a Credit card.

I look at it this way, you are paying $100 more for color, do you really think the fish are going to bite better because of a color fish finder? Nope. That's why I chose the BW. I almost ended up with the HB 385ci but there was a mixup and so I chose to go with the one I got. I can't wait to test it out. Looks like that may be on the OEX tourney. I'll read up on the manual before I get out there.

You can always use a small drill bit to drill the rivet part. If you have access to the underneath part you can try cutting them off with a small set of bolt cutters or wire snips.

The color makes a huge difference especially if you are trying to differentiate hard bottom and structure. Any finder is better than nothing but once you can properly read a good color finder, it is a game changer.

Wait until Sharon gets familiar with her finder.

^ ^^^^ This. And one more thing: Learning to use your FF on manual instead of automatic will open your eyes to a bunch of stuff that normally gets missed.

I just used a color FF for the first time today. I'll probably never buy one. I just use mine to mainly find structure. If I see boomerangs or worms on the screen that's just a bonus. If your hunting WSB or YT and you know what color they show up as then it's probably worth it. Besides, I'm color blind. So, knowing the colors wouldn't help much anyways.
