Jim Sammons uses the Dragonfly and I've seen it used otw. It sure seems like a bitchin FF. If I didn't just buy an Elite5 before this came out I would definitely consider buying it. The down imaging is very clear even around 100+ft. Haven't seen it at its limits.

I've decided to purchase one, but want to see if I can get a good deal with some % off coupon to take the sting out of list price. I've owned other nautical equipment from Raymarine, or should I say Raytheon the parent company. They definitely have the depth and width to come up with the better technologies.

Now I just have to figure out which Jackson Kayak has the built-in transducer mount...

I would seriously wait for the reviews before you make this purchase on this fish finder which will run you about $800 with tax.
New technology comes with many bugs.

All points taken gentlemen. Perhaps it's wiser to wait a few months until I upgrade the vessel to another model.

As you all know, we spend so much on our marine addiction/affliction
