Raymarine Dragonfly

[JarrodMc]

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 .

Anyone know if this transducer will fit in the transducer ready mount area of the newer Malibu X-Factor?

Best sonar I have ever used. Super impressive. I have had mine for about 6 months now and have used in LJ, Bays, Lakes, etc. Works beautifully.

All new Wildy boats will come ready to fit this as well starting with the Thresher. Simply because everybody on the team, the designer, etc is moving to this unit. It blows away competition in clarity and ease of use.

If you had a Lowrance bracket to modify and stuff you could make it happen but not without modification. Then again the Malibus dont even fit the new HDI stuff from Lowrance, at least not very well. They bolt in but hand WAY low.
