5K shouldn't be a hill for a stepper like you.

You can buy an apple laptop with better components for half that. Manufacturers have learned that people are idiots.

Thats what I was thinking. Have bass fisherman really lost their minds to spend 5k plus tax on a depthfinder?

also as steeper like me doesn't spend money unnecessarily

Meh, that's not really the best comparison.

The components in these units are more "heavy duty" if you will. Made to withstand high temps and non-ideal operating conditions. Are they still over priced? Probably, but you won't get the functionality of these units using a laptop.

Maybe nobody has told you but there's some fairly wealthy nanner whackers (my new fave term btw) in your gene pool.

I have a 9 at the helm and a 7 up front, I wish I had 3 9's. I will move the 7 to the helm and put the next 9 up front.

Humminbird just came out with a 15 inch depth finder for freshwater.

Solix 15 si= $3,500.00

prices are outrages, but everyone of us would love to have one.

try looking at your map, sidescan, and 2d sonar on a 7.
