You guys are responsible for my present condition of thinking that I have to have a HB sidescan unit. I am confused about what to do. So my questions are: 1. Would you buy local (Gander Mtn or Bass Pro) and probably pay more or would you buy something off the net? 2. If buying off the net, do you have favorite vendors that you trust not to mess over you and that have provided good service in the past? 3. I have seen extended waranties offered from some vendors, would they be worth it? Thanks for your replies.
