West marines sales are norm $150 off when they have them that would bring it to $500 than 10% off so $450 then bass pro gift cards brings it to $391 and than $100 rebate they norm have at same time as west marine sale brings it to a grand total of $330 including tax for a brand new HDS 5 gen 2. Oh and if you sign up for there credit card at same time they norm will give you another $100 off so if your lucky you could get it for $230!! If following lowrances pattern there next rebate sale should be this summer when this occurs if you want to wait. By the way this is how I got my HDS 7 except I didn't get the credit card, found out about that after

That is amazing stuff right there. Looking into it now. Thanks! I had a girl friend of mine say that when she bought from a sale she "earned" money that day.

Just beware West Marine "Manager Specials" as opposed to sales. Lowrance will reject any rebate for units purchased at West Marine - message will come back as "Unauthorized Dealer".
I went round and round with Lowrance on this and got nothing out of it for my HDS 7. Seems WM is giving you the rebate right up front and calling it a "Special" without Lowrance's blessing and not telling the customer that fact - then they feel screwed when the rebate gets rejected.
When I explained to the Lowrance rep that a bunch of guys were simply getting Bass Pro to price match and then getting the rebate he called them cheaters.
I say screw em and cheat if thats what they want to call it.

It is not cheating it is bass pro policy! And bass pro will price match west marines special with the 10% west marine discount code/coupon on top of the special price.
