Just keep saving, dont settle for something less then what you want besides the 1st and 15th are gonna come every month, and food and electricity are over rated any way!

all that un necessary BS is automatically taken out of my check... its the gas to get to work that kills me.

thats why i asked though, i was going to be perfectly content with a Mark4 but since now im waiting again, i might as well save up a few more dollars and get something a little better.

Keep in mind BPS offers 6 month pay options. It makes getting the system you want easier. No interest is charged. I love this deal for items like this.

I'm just curious why you think you need something that reads to 600 feet?
Even 300 is just on the excessive side.

i have a cuda 350 with gps for $100 it does what your asking.... im getting a new yak and want new electronics....

While you'll most likely only need a maximum of 300' saltwater depth for 99% of everything you fish for, you WILL need a FF capable of 600'. Why?

Because all specs are based upon Freshwater. So, with a 300' max depth FF, you'll be lucky if you are getting bottom readings at half that depth. Now, I will agree with Drake, you will for the most part hardly ever be fishing in that kinda depth.

Look, just save up your $$$ and get the $300 Elite 4. Problem solved. FF, GPS, deep enough, reliable, and cheap for what you get.

There is an expiration date for the payment plan. And I'm not sure how often they offer this plan. You may have to call and see or sign up and get email alerts.

For example:

You can use 6 pay at any time, you just have to call and place your order over the phone.
